    My "genius" kid got her MOTHER (my ex) to let her drop out of HS (with only 5 months to go to grad
    crazy.gif
    ) and runs off with her boyfriend and his parents to Lyons MI. Did not tell me crap. I'm a good dad, pay child support like clock work, offered the kid everything under the sun I could afford, and Tammy (the new Mrs. Throneburg) has been a stellar stepmother. What is even more puzzeling is that the ex never told me either. I got this email (yes this is the exact email, spelling and all):

    "This is hard to say and i know ull hate me after this but i love you.....i couldnt tell u until now because i didnt know how to tell u...im not in south carolina anymore...i want to follow my dream...i want to see the world...i know that im young but i am 17 and theres nothing u or mom could do about it...i am in michigan....my fone doesnt work up here so i couldnt call u...its snowing up here....i will be going to college up here in the fall at the university....im here with my boyfriend...hes been a good friend for 7 years and we have gotten together and i have fallen in love with him...i know u think that im too young to know what love is but i do...and its my life to make mistakes and chances and go on adventures...i have to choose which way i wanna go in life so this is my choice...My boyfriend has proposed to me and i said yes...its wondeful up here and im happy with the choice that i have made. i hate that my phone doesnt work up here but i still have a computer and im going to try to get a new fone as soon as i can
    i love you
    caitlin"

    My mother in law was standing in the livingroom when it came in to the crackberry and I started yelling WTF!, WTF!, WTF! I think I frightened her dearly.

    Well my kid never replied to my phone calls or emails and finally my dad (yes the guy in the photo) wrote her this:

    <span style="font-weight: bold"> "Well……..first thing you need to do is to return to the 9th grade so that you can learn English Grammar and how to write sentences and paragraphs.



    Second you need to graduate from high school before a university will accept you. Somewhere in this process you will need to work.



    We love you and will miss you. I hate you chose this path because it is a very difficult one. If you need to get home we will put a jar in the Petrol Express for you to raise money for the bus ticket.



    It’s truly amazing."
    </span>

    I thought that was funny as crap!!

    Well Tammy wrote her trying to get her to think about things and the little smart ass boyfring wrote back cussing us and all kinds of crap, well that just sent my wife over the edge. If you were to know her, she is 5'2" tall, 125lbs of "I will beat the shit out of you because I run more miles a week than a Navy Seal" woman. She don't play.

    Longer story shortened up a bit, I finally got tried of getting nothing and more nothing out of my sack o' shit ex, that I called the PD up there and filed a missing persons report and they used a little bit of "tactics" to get the ex to tell them something and they got in touch with her and told her she had to call. She tried to tell them she would send me an email and the detective said "NO" you call....so I am waiting on a call from her now. I found out where she was, because, like all teenagers, they can't keep crap to themselves and she posted her location on her Facebook page.....dummy!

    Now, to STOP the child support, cause "sack o' shit ex" is not taking my money while my kid is off in never never land living with her boyfriend........
    Oh yea, as far as the "I'm going to see the world" stuff....I have her passport locked in the safe
    wink.gif
    and she has no drivers license and 1000.00 to her name which is most likely much less now because her lilly white butt has no clothes for the weather up there.........brilliant!




     
    Re: AWOL kid

    17=Not of legal age=can not make legal decisions on her own=hopefully 18 year old boyfriend=statutory rape=X-wife getting child neglect charges=getting your child back and now the X having to pay child support. Keep up the legal end of this and also pursue the child neglect charges
     
    Re: AWOL kid

    I'm sorry for your troubles. I hope she sees the light. Many kids do.

    But, I have to ask (and this is is no way meant as a slam on your parenting skills) HOW THE F&CK does someone go to school until 17 and write in such an illiterate manner? Jeez. That alone will doom her long term success in the job world. WTF do they do in school all day 9 months of the year?

    Texting would be the answer to that. After seeing and reading some teenagers text's, I know pretty much all of that was short hand texting. Thats what they do all day long, that's how they write and spell so that ends up being the way they learn. They teach themselves to be illiterate.

    to the OP. Just reading that pissed me off to no end. I hope you can straighten her out. And her boyfriend...
     
    Re: AWOL kid

    Dude,
    Quite bitchin on this forum, sac up, get into the truck, stop by Dick's or Gander Mountain for a cheap ass Mossburg 500 and a box o shells, AND TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS! If that was one of my neices, one of my God Daughters, Someone would have a serious ass whoopin and a cryin little girl would be locked down in the back seat on the way home to Dad and Mom. Oh, and the ass whoopin, would be a hospital bed for junior asshat.

    I pity the kid/guy that would try that with any of my neices. To the Gd Daughter's I am just a 'crazy uncle with lots of guns and a bad attitude'
     
    Re: AWOL kid

    One of my very best friends and mentors has gone through the same chit with his daughter for years, she only called when she needed money etc, finally his heart torn and broken had enough and he just let her go, nows he is happy. You can only do so much brother.

    Don't forget to stop at the Farm and Feed Store for 100# of lime, a shovel, a cross cut saw, and a hammer. Remove hands, feet, head, and teeth. Make sure to scatter at least 30 miles apart.

    Good luck
     
    Re: AWOL kid

    Sorry to hear about your situation, BUT, I'd consult a lawyer before I quit paying child support.

    Does momma deserve the cash now that your darling daughter has run off? Probably not.

    Common sense and the law don't always go hand in hand and I'd hate to see momma's piss poor parenting skills bite you even harder for failure to pay child support.

    Oh, and that lime idea ain't too bad either.

    Re: AWOL kid

    OK - a brazillion. At that age they need parents not Friends. You will end up raising her kids for her with all that compassion caring and love. Love is shown with strength and direction. Once you show them the right way in life they will find out that you loved them and know you are (were) right and in return not only love you but not end up in jail, hooked on drugs, raped, pregnant, dead in a ditch, etc. etc. Flame away I guess I am just an asshole.

    Ok, I will be clear on the child support thing, I can't just stop paying. The payment comes out of my pay every two weeks, like clock work, I never touch it. This is set up through the court. Keeps me from having to try to worry about it while I am "working" and there is always proof that she recieved it. 100%.
    In SC, the law is, 18 and graduated, or dropped out of shcool, or married. So, she dropped out of school, turns 18 in a matter of a month and says she is getting married to this dude. I want the ball rolling so on her 18th birthday, it stops. This is a direct quote from the cleck of court and child services. There are no other provisions for support after these dates in SC (unless there were an added agreement, which there is not as I have gone through these papers with the clerk of court's office last year to prepare myself for graduation and how to channel the money from her mother to her for college (which isn't happening now). The clerk of court just needs a letter from the school stating that her mother signed her out and she is no longer enrolled, then on her 18th birthday, it stops. All legal like.


    As far as the her being 17 and this dude being 20-something, 16 is the age of concent in SC and MI. Nothing there. Now, if I were a true "dick" I suppose I could get her and her mother for allowing her to leave on her own before the legal age of emancipation which is 18 (you have to petition the court for early emancipation and be able to prove the child can support themselves). But why bother for a few weeks.

    All that really pisses in my corn flakes is the lack of respect shown to me as her father shown by her and the ex,I think I deserve to know, where she is, who she is with, and how to get in touch with her in case of an emergency. Let her ass go out ther and get spit out in this tough world, it is her life to live and make mistakes, but freak'n treat your family with respect. There are a lot of guys out there that won't have two shits to do with there kids and don't help out, never try to support them and they seem to skate through life just fine. Well, I'm not one. Even when work calls me away for an extended time, I made up the time in alot of cool ways.


    That's it, sheriff's office contacted her, asked her to call, she said she would, she did not. At least the sheriff called me and let me know she was fine and safe. They can not legally give me a number or address.

    That was my last trump car
     
    Re: AWOL kid

    Last time I checked South Carolina law, an individual is considered a minor until the age of 21, unless emancipated or married.

    She cannot get a license to marry without a parent present and her douche bag boyfriend may be able to get hammered by SLED for transporting a minor across the state line and depending on his age for statutory rape, of course the FBI may want a piece as well since it is interstate transportation.

    BTW: Instead of bitching on the internet, shouldn't you be in your vehicle, sitting in her boyfriend's driveway right now with a couple of local cops? Man the fuck up and take care of this shit. Your kid doesn't respect you or your opinion and it may or may not be deserved on your part, but I would turn to the legal system and hammer the ex and anybody that assisted your daughter's flight.

    Otherwise, write her off and tell her she is on her own or you will be raising her kids and bitching about on this forum for the next 18 years.

    I have read all your posts on this forum and your are probably a nice guy. However, you need to step up and take control of your shit or continue to be victimized by your life as you successfully have been so far.

    Good luck with it.

    The door will always be open for her.

    While do like "Switchblades" reply, I have to bitch a little here because, one, you guys are friends I can vent to while I am away on work and secondly my security clearance is priority one and I can loose it pretty easy by beating the shit out of some little twit or making threats with firearms, so I am venting to keep from doing damage to someone.

    Now,I can always look for a "little faggy cry baby fourm", but I like you guys better.

    You should see some of the stuff that the people in my class (2003) came off with. It's pathetic what kids and young adults are able to get by with in school. Nobody really cares enough to give them genuine help; and the kids don't care to learn because if it works for them, why change it? Or:
    Y shud i care how 2 spl if it dosnt make a dif n my gradz?
     
    Re: AWOL kid

    Dude, be supportave. Tell her you understand, you don't agree with it, but you understand...

    Then call the local (to her) PD and file a statutory rape and kidnapping charges.

    Bottom line is...SHE IS NOT LEGALLY AND ADULT. If she is with adults, they can be held liable for taking her without your consent (and should be).

    1. YOU, are a douchebag.

    2. OP, Let her go in my opinion (she's already gone anyways), and you said that she'll be 18 in a month...so with that being said, she should be responsible for her own actions. Don't enable her behavior once she turns 18...you just have to accept it at that stage.

    When I turned 18yrs old my folks said, "Love ya, but move out of our house and go and do good things...we've now raised you."

    They were right, they raised me well and off I went.

    Yes +1, 18 graduated or GED and out you go, job or military or married. I have no problem with this. I'm just "bitching", as was so eliquintly put, about her being dumb enough to drop HS with only 5 months to go and her mother agreeing to it and not telling me anything. Everyone is hiding. Ex included.

    Call SLED about her abduction and the possible statutory rape charges, get the Feds involved. You know the players names and addresses, all it takes it a trip to the local office downtown near the Customs House.

    Oh yeah, about the security clearance, that is why I indicated that you should pay her a visit with the local cops with you at the boyfriend's house, or wherever he be stayin' now.

    Once again, good luck with it.

    Re: AWOL kid

    I really sympathize with you that is a age that they know enough to get themselves into trouble, but not enough to get out. I agree with Fighthard, she may hate you for a while because you "ruined her life" but as she matures she will see the love behind it. Get her and bring her home, legally. Don't risk your job too. If it was me the time off request would have all ready been in, and the wheels turning.

    I'm not opposed to your advise (it is sound and accepted) and I did call a buddy I have that is a SLED agent (he is going to make a few calls). I just don't feel like a victim or taken advantage of and I am a little snappy, and I usually am not one to bitch about anything but damn, stolen rifle parts (which I am not bitch'n about, it is fixed) and a freak'n run off kid that you hoped would go on to a good school, is just too much BS in just a few months time, I am just a worried father who would like to be aware of the location of and a contact number for his daughter. My life is usually very, very quite and low key and I keep it that way on purpose.

    I see what you are saying, but thing is, I do not know their names. Not his name, not his parents name, no address in MI, no phone number. They have been witholding it from me for quite some time because they felt that I would not approve.

    Steps are underway to try and resolve a few things.

    Statutory rape will not work because she is over 16. In SC 16 is the age of concent so no rape unless I can prove they had sex before she turned 16.

    It is a very tough spot not being the custodal parent, you have way less rights than you think you do until something like this happens then all you get is dead ends.
     
    Re: AWOL kid

    I wish you luck War-Dog-Nemo, I've had a few cousins do pretty much the exact same thing, all with way less than good results. One would think that the younger ones would have taken heed of the older cousin's mistakes and not repeat them but alas that wasn't the case.

    Honestly I think you're making the right decision by not going there and paying a visit and given that she'll be 18 soon theres really no point in wasting the legal fees and time on changing the money flow from what has allready been put in place.

    However, perhaps a memember here could pay them a visit and who knows, the boyfriend might just have a "get right with the lord" revalation during said visit.
     
    Re: AWOL kid

    For those who do not know. South Carolina has different laws than most of the nation regarding sex especially how it defines AGE OF CONSENT.

    SC Constitution Section 33 sets the AGE OF CONSENT at 14.
    Statutory law, Section 16-15-140 sets the age at 16.

    <span style="font-weight: bold">This means 17 is legal here and the OP's Daughter is FAIR GAME.</span>

    Since 14 is written into our constitution it is effectively being granted as a right of being a citizen here to have relations with 14yr olds. The state limits this through statutory law and puts stipulations on it, basically parental consent being required for 15 and 14.

    Ha ha ha, yea, well, I'm sure that she has told him enough about me that he is not going to show his face anytime soon, but I have no doubt, that if she stays with this chicken-shit or marries him, one day they will show on my door step and you better beieve, there will be a "come to Jesus" meeting in the back yard.

    That is exactly what screws me on this and what I have been saying, the stat rape trump card won't work. It is a screwed up law when you are trying to protect your daughter.
     
    Re: AWOL kid

    Fucking bullshit, I would be pissed. But how many times did you and I do some truly dumb shit, and it took a few days/weeks/months to figure out the error in our path? If you take a step back though and really look at the situation you'll see that she is keeping in contact (if you can call that grammar contact) which shows that she didn't totally go off the reservation she just deviated a little (a lot). Honestly, I don't know what I would do, maybe send her a new cell phone...

    [between you and I, I would consider digging a nice deep hole]
     
    Re: AWOL kid

    War-Dog,

    While I do not know your daughter, I know of several of my friends who did the exact same thing. My girlfriends best friend dropped out her senior year, and wanted to "make it big!" Which was fully supported by her nutjob mother. Needless to say, it hasn't quite worked out that way. We know she's capable of doing great things, but she lacks the motivation to try and believe in herself.

    On behalf of the younger population, I am sorry. We say things and act in ways that are deplorable in retrospect. There were things I said to my parents when I was 16 that I would NEVER think of saying now, knowing what they did was for a reason. I had a stint where I had the typical rebellious phase. I snuck out a couple times, got caught by my parents, and NEVER did it again. Point being, I knew that when my parents were worried, I knew it was because they loved me and just wanted me to be safe.

    I'm guilty of the "texting speak," too...while I'm actually texting, not in normal emails or any other form of writing. I know how to distinguish the two and when to write in them accordingly.

    Your daughter will grow up and realize what she's done, and while it may take a while, I can guarantee you there will be a time where she regrets her decisions and wishes she could come home. As said before, always make sure she knows your doors are open.


    And if you really want to pursue a statuitory rape charge, SC may have a lowered age of consent, but what about the state she is in now? By crossing state lines she made herself susceptible to the laws and regulations of that state.

    Just believe that it will get better. Soon enough we realize the error in our ways. I'm sorry this is happening to you, but realize it could be much much worse.

    Nah, it's whatever the hell you say it is.

    That is exactly what screws me on this and what I have been saying, the stat rape trump card won't work. It is a screwed up law when you are trying to protect your daughter. </div></div>

    I would imagine they may have driven there. You can take your rifle from point a to b as long as it is legal at the endpoints. That said, you can't just pull it out and squeeze one off at an intermediary point where said rifle is prohibited. I think girls may be regulated similarly.

    Name + cc inquiry may allow you to pursue elsewhere, maybe?

    Also, don't kids basically need permission to drop out of school, otherwise the state considers them truant and wants them and the parent(s) in court?

    You said her location was on her facebook page...are you actually friends with her or did you just see it on the search page? You might be able to find out who her boyfriend is by digging around on her profile a bit. He might be in a profile picture or have written on her wall.

    Just a thought.
     
    Re: AWOL kid

    school will get no money unless the child is "in" the school. They want every warm body they can in a seat. Here in SoCal that includes every illegal alien possible, Mexican, Iranian, Iraqi, etc. Right now they are busing them from the border. We are starting to see a HUGE influx of Arabs (known as "OTM" or other than Mexican) here as the county actually advertises come here for a welfare check
