my youngest just turned 16 and her high school gave her a little booklet thats has hers rights, one of these more or less states at 16 you dont have to go home anymore infact you can just dissapear and as parents we can not do anything about it, i felt for mrs moose when the police rang her 10 days ago to give her a lecture on bad parenting because my 16 year old went to them to say she was not coming home so we cant report her missing.
well the only bad parenting we performed was to take msn from her because she was not doing her home work and that makes us bad parents and gives her the key to leave, for 5 days we could not contact her or know where she was, we kept ringing the police but they would not do anything because she told them she was leaving. i can tell you this broke my heart and thankfully she kept going to school and mrs moose caught up with her there and managed to talk her into coming home, now i we to watch what we say and do so we dont prevoke her into doing this again.
so i would like to wish the do gooder who wrote the fucking convention for childrens rights all them best and hope his or her kids do the same to him
