DC 16 left home a few weeks before their 17th birthday. It goes without saying that I'm utterly heartbroken.
I contacted their college as DC had told me she had quit. I was told she was free to do so without my consent. .
DC moved in with relatives, found a job and has sent only a handful of messages ( asking for money etc) since they left home.
I was told they were going back to college in September 23, but in relatives home town
.
Fast forward I'm informed that they are no longer with relatives and attending college in another town. They refuse to tell me where they are living or which college they're at .
I've asked DC to tell me where they are registered as living as I've had to take them off electoral register, cancel subscriptions they've set up( paid for by debit card, so no passwords or access to their email address etc.
Non of my family will speak to me, a horrible fall out following a bereavement, so I simply have no idea where DC is.
What I need to know is am I still DCs legal guardian and what are my responsibilities regarding their wellbeing ?
What happens if either of us becomes seriously ill or are involved in an accident,a victim of a crime oreven missing.?.
.Any advice would be greatly appreciated
