MamaSprout Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 My parents fostered kids years ago. Many of the kids have stayed in contact with them over the years (mostly looking for handouts). Prior to covid quarantine a 16 year pregnant child of a former foster kid moved in to avoid a chain-smoking "abusive" mother. To be fair, this girl's mother is not a nice person... but abuse might be a stretch. She is now 18 and has stonewalled everyone who has attempted to help her move her life forward. My elderly parents buy her stuff all the time to avoid a scene. Like MacBooks. Now her boyfriend has moved in. No GED, no driver's license, she is not connected in any way to social services, although I think her mother is collecting benefits in her name. No interest in getting any of these things, although she drives a car around like a maniac. Now that we are vaccinated I've been around more and witnessed a nice screaming tirade from the second floor of their house yesterday. I now see that my parents are not in charge at this point. She does not pay attention to her now toddler and my mom (an 80-something with RA) has no business minding a busy toddler. I really need to get her out of my parent's house. I'm guessing it's going to require legal action (or someone dying.) Sigh. I hate this. 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I’d call CPS. Seriously. They’ll either put her in programs to help her get a job, get an apartment, get schooling, and get daycare for her child or they’ll put the toddler with a family who can properly care for her. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an organization I've been in contact with who these sort of coordinates things. Until said teen was actually 18 I've been nice because she would have been placed in foster care and my mom would have been mad at me... but now I can start pulling some triggers, I think.

My parents always have multiple cars around. Supposedly this particular car is not in their name? I have no idea how that works since she has no driver's license.

KungFuPanda Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 This is elder abuse and manipulation. It also may be further complicated by the law since she seems to be a resident in your parent's home and likely enjoys some legal protections. Her "job" is to provide for her living by taking advantage of your parents and it's going to take a will stronger than that to get her to move forward in life. She is meeting her own goals right now. You may be in for a serious intervention and some legal action. I'm kind of shocked that the boyfriend just moved in. That's surreal. She needs to get signed up for everything yesterday. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartString Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Are your parents on board? I’m not sure it’s possible to evict someone from someone else’s house. If you call CPS about the toddler will your mom just say it’s fine, everything is fine? If you try to use legal action will your parents go along or side with the girl? If you get her evicted will she turn right around and knock on the door with a sob story and be let back in? You might want to discuss all of that before you spend much money. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no. They are legally of sound mind, I believe, and can at least fake it for the studio audience. But no, they never have truly been completely right. They've always "Forest Gumped" their way through whatever mental illness is probably there, I think.

Katy Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 The easiest path is to say, “You’re abusing my parents. Get out or I’ll have the police get you out.” But I don’t think that’s best for the child, which is why I would start with CPS. They have a constitutional requirement to try to keep them together, which means they may pay for emergency housing, and any number of other things to keep baby with mom, including free licensed daycare and free job training. Ethically it’s the best bet IMO. Also CPS intervenes with young children much more quickly than with older ones. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyMom5 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 But what if CPS guilty the parents into letting her stay? Their responsibility it to the baby, not the parents.

Bootsie Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I am sorry. This sounds like a complicated situation. Are there any concerns that if you get them to leave your mom and dad will be paying for the place and other expenses? If they have been guests in your parents' home, it is going to depend on state law whether they will be considered tennants or not and the steps that would need to be taken to force them to leave.

She qualifies for free childcare vouchers and pretty much every service you can imagine. I've actually had a family (not CPS) caseworker to the house before teen turned 18, but everyone agreed to play nice at that time and I went along with it b/c she would have been placed in foster care. My mom actually stopped at the closest Lutheran church/ childcare ministry that accepts these vouchers and both the toddler and grandma were happy, but teen said, "But I'm scared ... they'll abuse him" (or some such nonsense). Being scared/ having anxiety is pretty much her way of manipulating mom. The little guy does seem behind a bit developmentally (at least compared to my 6-months younger grandson). I actually snapped my fingers behind his head yesterday to make sure his hearing was okay. It is. Nobody plays with him, really, although he's fed and at least as clean a most toddlers. I have dealt with our state's CPS before, and there is no way they would take action. They are out of money by March most years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. My mom has paid the rent for many former foster kids. And utilities, court costs, and vehicles. She even had to sell a rental house she owned where one just refused to pay. There was some circumstance that made moving out attractive to them so they didn't need to go to court, thank goodness. My mother lives in a constant state of crazy, which is why I want to move this kid on by way of programs and such. Mom at least now sees that her money isn't endless now that dad has retired. I think that is my angle. Kid needs to move out or dad goes to assisted living with all of those associated costs and I will hire an attorney on his behalf after I call social services. I think mom will be relieved to have teen out of the house, but she doesn't want to deal with it herself.

She is deliberately taking advantage of them because she's afraid to grow up. She's already made that choice by having a baby when she was a teen - she has to put on her big girl panties now and use the programs that have been offered to her. As long as she is in their home - she has zero motive to grow up. I agree, CPS will see a home with older people taking care of things. They won't do anything. OP - elder abuse first, then the rest can fall into place. 1 hour ago, Bootsie said: I am sorry. This sounds like a complicated situation.

Spryte Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I’m so sorry you are going through this. It sounds horrible. I think the CPS and APS route is your best bet. Maybe talk to an attorney. Echoing that if you can, you need to help lock up all valuables (do your parents own weapons? Those, too), car keys, bank statements, etc. I would run their credit, if they let you, put a freeze on it, and - definitely check to see if they have added her name on any of their credit cards! She could have a card in her name out there somewhere. Aaack. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a possibility without escalating the situation? Even if it is an excuse that another family member will be visiting or something else, it would be easier if a request could simply be made, and help accessing community resources be provided if desired. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acadie Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Get legal advice on how to proceed in your state, and any questions that need to be answered before you make a move. Previous posters have mentioned several potential legal pitfalls, and I'd want to know that any action was working toward and not against your goals. And that your parents are protected if this couple suddenly feels threatened at the prospect of needing to move on with their lives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the parents allowing her to actually reside there and treat it as her home she receives some level of protection in ever state, and will most likely need to be evicted. The police will not get involved unless there is some kind of domestic disturbance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
