Well whether you are 18 or not they cannot just take your son. Believe me you are his parent ,and it is considered to be kidnapping. And as for the car, who bought it (i mean paid for it), and whose name is on the tilte?
I don't know if you wok or not, but you are 17 so if you don't have a job you need to get one fast. That way if your 18th b-day is ar enough you'll be ready to move out by then. And you can get a lot of help from the government. I wanted to move out the day I turn 18, but b/c I need to be 18 to fill out my apartment application, I realize that won't happen but I still plan on being out of this house when I am 18, even if I have to live in a hotel or motel for a couple of weeks. Soyou really need to work, and I know that being young you want to spend all of the money that you get on stuff, but if you want to move you have to save. Oh yah, start making notes of when your parents take ethan without your permission, and when you tell them about it, also make a note of when they leave you with nothing to eat like they did. Eventhough you are a mother ,they are still responsible for your well being, and not feeding you is neglect.
