grand theft auto

I only have one question? I live in california, stockton. I am 15 and i was caught by the cops on 4/21/07 for grand theft auto at Chico. One car is my cousins which the cops said i have stolen the vechile and my friend Johnny Moua who forced me to strip another car which is some guys car. Well i was just worried that can the law take my driving privilege away. I only have a Pink Slip. The reason why i want to drive is because my dad works 12-14 hours a day. He can only drop us three children at school in the morning. I am the oldest and i have a little sister that is only a third grader and she is to small to walk home. Well my other brother is a 9th grader and he gets out to late to pick up my sister. I'm the only one that can pick her up because i get out 30 min earlier. Most of the time i always walk home after school and its like a 2 hour walk. I cant never sleep. I always think that in my mind. Also i have a grandma that is around her early 80's and everday she walk about 40min to pick up my little sister. I hate that, it is a suffering to see my old grandma to walk in the sun every school day. My mother is divorced and she lives in minnesota. well i hope u can give me the answer. Thank you.

Legal age of Missouri

Hello, I have a question about the legal age to leave your parents' house without consent. It has been known to be 18, but I have learned recently it was changed to 17. I was wondering if this was true? Can a friend of mine( who has just turned 17) leave his house now and live with his older brother, without his parents being able to bring him back legally? (Added info.: He lives in Kansas City, MO. He just turned 17, 3 days ago and he has a decent job and car and is brother is 24 years old and can take care of him.)

juvenile dependency

I have an 11 yr old nephew who keeps running away after school and recently stayed out a whole weekend at another 11yr olds house without parental consent. Can his mother (a widow) have the police bring charges against the other child's family or a get a restraining order so as to keep the two ( both have been suspended a few times) apart. The other family wants to file harassment charges against my sister(the widow) for coming around to their house while attempting to find my nephew and bring him home. Can my sister legally lockout my nephew from the house to teach him a lesson? She is at wit's end and he is being stubborn and disrespectful to her. What are her legal responsibilities if she can't get him to obey her? I want to start a PINS petition but she is trying to keep the courts out of this. If he gets into ''trouble'' can she be charged with neglect for not reporting him ''missing'' if she looks but can't find him and just waits at home for him to call or walk home no matter how late it is? Thank you for you counsel.

P.S.He is not on drugs as far as I can tell, he just wants to ''socialize'' with his friends...He is a Boy Scout too...He is in 6th grade Is he considered incorrigible? He just walks out of the house ...

Minors Serving on Board of Directors

I am a 14-year-old interested in serving on a Board of Directors, but I have been told that minors (those under 18) in Massachusetts cannot legally serve on a Board of Directors. I can understand why, because Board members are occasionally asked to sign legal documents, but I could just get my mother/father to cosign with me, correct?

Sexual Harassment quid pro quo

I'm a Business major in college. I have no interest in law whatsoever. But, my major requires one ''Business Law and Ethics Course''. Anyways, my ''...hole'' Business Law professor decides to make us all play attorney for our final exam grade (25% of our letter grade for the semester). I was given an assignment to do a 10 minute presentation in front of the class. I have to play ''defense attorney'' against a sexual harassment quid pro quo case. I get graded by how well of a defense strategy I can come up with. There's only one proble : the defendant is guilty as sin ! It's an open/close case. The plaintiff was fired for refusing to date a high-ranking company employee.
