Violent teen

[RACHIEWOO100]

I have a friend who has a son (17) who is making the entire families life a misery. He is big, intimidating and a bully.
He currently has no violence issues outside the home.
Social services are involved in a voluntary basis but there doesn't appear to be a whole lot they can do.
He is creating such a situation financially (for various reasons) that the family will soon be unable to pay their rent.
Has anyone had experience with any groups or agencies who may be able to help? This one angry child is going to bring the whole family down. My friend does not want to give up on her son as she feels this will make things worse for him but from the outside I am seeing the whole family drowning.
Can you force a child under the age of 18 to leave?
The police have been called on several occasions but the child usually leaves the house before they arrive and the call out is then cancelled.
Also how can I best be of help? I'm trying to be supportive, help locate possible resources, be understanding and an ear to listen.

That sounds like a difficult situation, they can make him move out but that will obviously cause it’s own issues to their relationship.

Once a young person reaches 16 they can leave home or their parents can ask them to move out. However, parents are responsible for their children's wellbeing until they turn 18 – and they'll likely need support.

Thank you. I've passed that on.

I've been trying to find some sort of parents group for parents experiencing domestic violence from their teenagers. I think my best bet as a friend is to make sure she has somewhere safe she can talk, with people who are/have experienced the same thing.
