DSS and emancipation
16/f
I have a few questions about the Department of social services and emancipation. I have a case at home where basiclly I'm being neglected by my parents. Their making me pay rent (350) monthly and I can't do laundry or shower in my own home without paying rent. They refuse to care for my needs and basiclly ignore me. I'm forced to give them half my check earnings. I'm basiclly responsible for my own self at age 16 and it shouldn't be like this. I have a place to go live at but I want to be emancipated from my parents. And I'm wondering if DSS gets involved will they allow me to pick where I live or will I be taken into foster care homes? Also there is a second minor living in this house my sister aged 8 but she isn't getting neglected by them will DSS get involved with her too ? Please I would much rather advice from an adult with good answers.

I am sorta in the same situation i am not an adult but i know what im talking about beacuse dcs is in my situation wich is the same as dss. First off have you talked to your parents and told them how you felt. second off if you did and it did not help and you do get dss involved dss will not let you pick were you want to live it does not work that way you will probably go into a foster home until you 18. also as long as your sister is getting hurt i dont see why they would get involved. the only way you could go where you wanted tro is if that family adopted you sorry i hope this helps keep me updated.

Usually, if you can prove that you can take care of yourself & have a place to live, they won't get anyone involved, but you have to explain to them why you think you should be emancipated, & they have to think that you're capable of living like an adult. I don't think they'll do anything to your sister if they don't have a reason to think she's being abused or neglected.
