    Minors have no power whats so ever in the judicial system, It's as if we don't count, just because of our age. Shouldn't we be measured or judged my our maturity? For some odd reason, the police have this thing, in which they don't believe the awful truth from the mouths of children, but instead, the sugar coated lies from the conniving adults! If we are American citizens, why then, are we not given the same rights as our older counterparts? After looking at the comments, it's seems that I'm not alone; the judicial system has failed us, we who are abused, we who tell the truth to deaf ears.

    Ok for those that CPS gets involved One. Call and keep in touch with the ombudsman. i t helps keep cps honest when they know they are being watched. Also swatting is not against the law in az as long as you use an open hand and if a mark is left t goes away in just a few seconds to about a minute or two. I have had my share of bad CPS workers trying their crap. but thanks to staying on top of them while they were investigating i found they try their best to make sure they are by the book rather than what they want. record all visits by cps workers means phone or in person.with notice first

    I am reading this post because a friend of mine has a 15 year girl who refuses to follow any rules. She has this idea that she can do what she pleases and I thought I would research the laws on the subject. I am finding that there are so many kids that complain about not getting along with their parents and all that and how they can take care of themselves and want to be emancipated; however about 95% of them can not even seem to make decent comprehensive sentences. This is a shame. My advice: be a kid, get a decent education while you can, and follow the rules until you're an ADULT!

    Any suggestions...My daughter will be 17 next wk. Very smart kid, used to do well in school. In the last yr she has been arrested for shoplifting 2x and for possessing alcohol (bottle of beer) while skipping school. She used to be a good kid. Now she sneaks out of the house. Has taken the car out at night(we now hide keys) Just found out that she has now stolen my debit card and skipped many days of school.She skipped today & we have no idea where she is. She isnt afraid of us. When we ground her she just doesnt come home from school or sneaks out. Where do we turn? We dont know what to do.
