PLEASE ANSWER!? a friends parents what to control every aspect of her life. when her parents literally give her a rule book of her life down to details of who she can and cant date and where she will go to college and what she will major in. she finally said she wasn't going to stand for it and wont do as they tell her when it comes to every detail of her life. the proceeded to threaten to send her to live with her aunt. Can they do that? Force their kid to live somewhere else just because they are tired of having every second of their life run by someone else telling them what to do? and it is not as if she is a rebel kid who parties and does drugs or anything illegal at all. she doesn't, she is a very straight edged honest girl who's parents are incredibly unreasonable. even so, she doesn't want to be sent away. i am looking for LEGAL reasoning of where the line is drawn in parental control over kids lives. as a start, the U.S. Declaration of Independence talks of the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. With someone else, parent or not, ruling every aspect of your life those rights are withheld even though they are supposedly "inalienable" please post links, sources or anything that can help. thank you very much!
Ok, yes i understand she is a minor and is under the control of her parents until 18, but still, there needs to a line drawn somewhere as to where raising a kid becomes ruling over someones life. and there is still the question of if they can send her to live away with her aunt and she has done absolutely nothing wrong.
