My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Texas. My friend from Ohio is the maternal grandparent of a 16 year old boy living with his
physically and emotionally abusive father in Texas. His mother has passed away. He has reported his father to teachers at his school who
have basically advised him to "wait it out." His father is a heavy drinker who wakes him up in the middle of the night to verbally and sometimes
physically beat him for "offenses" which he dreams up as he becomes more intoxicated. He wants to leave to live with his grandparents in Ohio,
but is terrified to talk to his father about this. He is grown to the point physically that the last time his father tried to abuse him, he defended
himself. When his father realized his son can now physically effectively defend himself, he told him "he has guns and will shoot his son if he has to."
What can this child do to protect himself from his father? Is emancipation an option if he can make it himself to his grandparents in Ohio and then legally
file for emancipation in the state of Texas? Time is of the essence as my friend truly believes her grandson is in danger.
