Where Can a Minor Live Besides Home?
Question by vic: Where can a minor live besides home?
I haven’t been creating a safe environment for my family, especially my younger sisters, in my house and my mom has threatened several times to kick me out.
But my question is what would her options be if she decided I couldn’t stay here anymore?? She has already told me she doesn’t think that any friends or family will take me in because I’m too much of a liability. And I was in a residential treatment program for a year and a half so she’s not willing to pay to send me somewhere.
I’m turning 17 in less than a month and I live in Maryland. If it makes a difference, a few of my problems are prescription drug abuse, taking family member’s meds, running away from home, and sneaking out with a parents car at night. Please dont lecture me on shaping up, I’ve been trying and I’ve been getting therapy but I’ve already lost all trust and my mom doesn’t want to risk keeping me here much longer.
I’m just not sure where else she would be able to send me besides to a family member or therapy program… Would she have a case if she petitioned for foster care or could she try to send me to jail?

Foster care or a group home are options, Unless you’ve committed a chargeable crime, jail isn’t.
