Would this be lilegel by chance

You should report this to Social Services as his parents are basically abandoning him. They will probably need to take care proceedings.

You'd be mad to take him in.

I imagine you've been told a sob story and there is a whole lot more to his behaviour than you know.

It also makes things more likely that your daughter will be having sex with him and it would be very awkward if they split up.

How can they kick a child out at 14. I would think this is definitely a matter for social services and the school need to be informed. You are saying his parents literally are abandoning their child becuase his brother wants a bigger room??

Hmmm. Are you just going by what he or your DD has told you? I'm afraid I don’t believe the parents of a 14-year-old are throwing him out because his brother wants more space.
If it is true at all that they are throwing him out (which I very much doubt) it will be for a very good reason that you are not being told, e.g. drugs or violence.

Do not take him in.

He is not your responsibility and you would be making it very difficult for your daughter to break up with him, which in the normal run if things is likely to be soon for a girl of 14.

If he is truly homeless, phone the school, police or social services.

Do not take him in.

You are very lucky to have clearly never known or lived in a deprived area. I did as a child/teen and kids were kicked out for a lot less by their neglectful alcoholic parents.

You don't want to be teaching your daughter that she needs to take men in who say they need help. You can help in lots of ways but not by providing a roof over his head. I wonder if really this is the GF posting...

You need to contact the school safeguarding lead. They will be able yo do a MASH referral so he gets appropriate support.

The illegal part is parents kicking out a 14 year old. Parents are obliged in law to ensure the safety of children until age 18, that includes making sure they have somewhere to live.

This is a clear safeguarding issue, social services need to be involved as a matter of urgency. In the extreme call 999

OP
are you the daughter ?

You only need to make Children's Services aware if he stays with you for 28 days or more, as it then becomes Private Fostering and they should come to assess you.
But as others have said I'd be making them aware now, as it looks like he needs support ASAP

I agree with this, I would take that explanation with a pinch of salt. If that is so he would not be homeless he would go into the care system.

Speak to the boys parents snd see what they have to say.

What happens if they break up ( which they will) and social services can’t find him anywhere to go? Please don’t take him in.

That sounds iffy, are you sure you're getting the whole story? How much do you know for certain, i.e. not what your daughter/her boyfriend have told you? Just because you feed him every day, doesn't mean that he isn't been cared for or fed at home. Perhaps DD and boyfriend have found a way to spend more time together, by making his parents out to be neglectful so you allow him to come around every day. Icing on the cake would be that he can shack up in the spare room. Have you even spoken to his parents? You seem to be acting quickly based on nothing but the words of a couple of loved-up teenagers. In any case, he needs to speak to his school or social services. I definitely wouldn't be inviting him to move in.

Please don't do this for your daughter's sake. What about when she wants to go to college or uni and she has him living with her so feels obliged to stay for him. What about when they have an argument and she needs space etc. What if she wants to split up with him but can't because it'll mean him out on the streets. It's a very nice thing to want to do but long term please think about your daughter.

It's not illegal. But you need to inform the school, social services, and I'd make sure bloody sure the parents no longer get the child benefit.

Remember that they're 14. What will you do when they break up? You don't want to make him homeless again, or make things awkward for your DD.

Agree @samarrange

surely there would be repercussions for the parents from SS if they did kick him out?

I suspect there might also be repercussions from social services if OP sets herself up as a self-appointed foster parent.

But the whole story is bonkers. You can't just kick your own 14yo child out onto the streets for any reason, even some hugely dramatic one, and the claimed reason is not "We can't control his drug habit" or "He threatened his Mum with a knife" (in which case the parents should call social services and ask for help), but "because his younger brother wants his own room", which is just absurd. The whole story feels like BF is winding everyone up.

Call the school first thing tomorrow. If he's literally going to be on the street that night, it will be escalated to social services very rapidly. The school have a duty of care, you don't.

My main concern would be if you let him move in, you're making it impossible for your daughter to leave the relationship if she wants to.

Anyone who thinks parents wouldn't do this are very lucky. Some parents just don't care about you or want you around and find an excuse to get rid of you.

OP, contact social services but make it clear they typically neglect him also

I’m just here for the big reveal or the deletion message, whichever comes first…

Lol @ you needing Mumsnet to suggest you need to ring social services.
