What to do when teen walks out?

[TomAllenWife]

He's 16
Came into my bedroom at 10.30 asking if he could go to a party (other side of the city, shitty area)
Obvs I said no

So he got changed and left!!!
I've told him he needs to get home, he says he's going out

WTAF!!!!!!!

What do you do?

It's Saturday night and he's 16. Old enough to marry or join the Army. Leave him be.

Not without parental consent.

I've no idea, but does the army allow 16 year olds to go out all night partying? Britain is one of only 16 countries in the world to recruit 16 year olds into the army. There's a lot of evidence to show it's not the best idea. Personally I also think getting married at 16 isn't a great idea. I wouldn't be consenting to either of those things for my DC.
