Full question:
I have a 17 year old son who has convinced a psychologist that he is being mentally abused. Due to his telling the police that he was considering suicide the police told us that they have to have him go to the hospital for a psychological evaluation. All this was done without our permission. The psychologist has not even asked our side of the issue and now our son refuses to come home. He says the psychologist says its not safe there and you do not have to live there. I allowed him to stay at a friends home on Monday May 21. It is now Friday and he says he is not coming back. What options do I have? Our son simply wants to do what he wants to do and is a master manipulator. My wife is a basket case over this. I do not have the financial means to fight this in court and do not know what to do.

Answer:
I know you may not be able to afford to hire an attorney but a sit down with one about the issue may help. One in your local area would probably be a good place to start. You may also consider going to talk to the police department that got involved to see what happens in a case like this. Likewise, a youth court may have to get involved, or will, so also talk to the court that handled youth matters. Wish we could assist but this matter is beyond what we can address online.
