What to do if my son and daughter-in-law have a 17 year old son that is out of control and does not listen to a thing they say?
He did not come home last night after school and they have not seen or heard from him since yesterday morning, his pattern has bad too show show up 4 or 5 hour’s later but not this time. My son and wife went too the local police department and asked for assistance with this, the police stated that this was a form of child abuse and is saying that they are bad parent’s and they don’t care about the boy because they didn’t report the problem sooner when he didn’t show up 2 minute’s later then he should have. Do these people have the right too say these thing’s and what are the legal and proper way for the parent’s too handle this?

From what you have written your son and daughter-in-law need to go to some parental counseling group to help themselves about the situation you have written about and then have their son attend as well. The matter that you have written about is not a legal issue. It is an internal issue within the home needing counseling.
