telephone numbers, and photographs.
Providing this type of information about yourself, your family, or your friends

information privately.]
In your question, DO include your sex, race, year and state of birth, and your relationship to the person being sought. Include the sex, race, and both the year and state of birth of the person being sought, when possible.

Question hello my name is cassie i am 17 years old andi have a 15 year old brother. he lives with me at the time. i need to know can any one take him away from me and can i get custody of him both of are parents are in jail. mom for drugs and dad for rape. we have no other close family. i am finincially stable. HELP PLEASE!!!!!
Answer Hello Cassie. You are in a difficult situation. I am so sorry things are not easier for you and your brother. Thank you for writing.
Can anyone take him away from you? Yes, as you may have guessed, the state/county could intervene if you and your brother are without ANY adult supervision. Is there a school counselor, minister, or long time neighbor that could vouch for you both?
Can you get custody? Probably not right away. These things usually take some time, and you are not quite ready. Nuts, I know, since you and your brother probably get along just fine by yourselves. Still, that's the law.
So use it to your advantage. Ask right away for legal counsel! Ask that a "Guardian Ad Litem" be appointed for your brother. Ask to speak with the judge yourself. Be proactive, Cassie, and your voices can be heard.
I will keep you and your brother in my thoughts, Cassie. I will pray that things go your way. Thank you for your questions. Hope I have been some help.
