I'm in again :hello::j

jojo - well done :beer: I am still not sure if I would have been throwing the phone at the back of his head or laughing too much to take aim

Mrs Chaos - the biggest problem is always the legal side, being under 18 they can have trouble with all sorts of things, like credit cards and anything of a contract nature, like tenancy agreements.......
ETA - do a budget with him and show him how much he needs to earn to live on.

hope everyone is ok, but :grouphug: for everyone
I am tired, so of to bed

Evening all

I'll post later (lost a longish one earlier and busy now) - just wanted to say that I'm in and thanks for the thread to everyone.

Could do with some advice re a 16/17 year old wanting to move out. :eek: Legalities, finance, etc.

Thanks. x

Ooh BTDT...

If they are living with parents and in FT education they are entitled to nothing.. or if the parent is willing to allow them to live at home they are not entitled to anything.

If they are unable to live at home.. and they have to go through social services or a homeless shelter and prove they are homeless they may get a flat in a hostel with teens who are drug addicts, prostitutes, aggressive criminals etc.. many have mental health problems.

DS1 cannot get a place of his own because he is in FT education and he doesn't get any money, even though he lived elsewhere for 3 years and is almost 20.

When he was with GF they got income support (£75 a fortnight) £30 EMA each IF they both attended college all week on time! and obviously child benefit and tax credits for Jacob which DS wouldn't get.

DS1 just said.. tell him he said 'don't be such a *silly person* blag off your mum you are so much better off.. you have no bills to pay at home and no food to cook, no washing to do and no !!!!!!'ed mates coming round in the middle of the night !!!!!! up or bleeding or worse. Your mate will drop out of college and be a *semen stain* for the rest of his life'

DD1 has a friend whose mum left him here and went back to Poland.. he doesn't eat as he has no money, he doesn't goto college as noone is there toencourage him or get him out of bed. He is in a crappy little bedsit with no heating because he can't afford it.. he gets £30 EMA providing he goes to college and about £50 income support.. out of this he has food, gas, electric, clothes, water and phone credit to buy. He is incredibly depressed, has lost about 3 stone and rarely gets to college.

He can leave home soon enough but for now he needs to be with you supporting him financially and practically andshould have pity for his mate whose family don't love him enough to care about his wellbeing and safety.

Does he want to talk to DS1 who has been there and done it and come back home?
