Teenager leaving home

[AdoraBell]

DD’s friend, 17, wants to move out but cannot afford a flat.

If we let him stay with us will this be okay, or is there a child safety issue?

TIA

Why wouldn't it be alright as long as all parties are agreed?

Fine

It will be fine if that is what he wants and you are happy with it.

Can you clarify your fears about child safety please @AndoraBell?

If he was under 16 you would need to report to the local authority to get checked out, but at that age assuming you're in England/Wales no issue.

No fear LetsGo just that when I left home at 16 my mother couldn’t stop me but now 18 is the cut off from child to adult. So I didn’t know what the legal status is at 17.

Thanks for all your responses.
