The age of cosent in MASS is 16 for girls 18 for boys. So no legal issue there, The fact she is in foster care and you keep her from her home? I don't see it happening but they may do something there for interfering with custody perhaps.

Well OK I see that point but what if I didn't know she lie about were she would be staying to the foster people so but isn't it a point that her step dad has no league right to kick me out of the ER he has no control of her

DSS has its own laws pretty much but they would probably have to be the ones to press any charges. Her step dad may not have any say in the matter depending on the legalities of her being removed from his house or him most likely not being a legal guardian in any way.
If the foster parents have been okay with her being there that may work in your favor that they should not be able to get you for harboring a minor. I think the age of consent would cover 16 for her not going home too.
Age of consent in Mass is 16 but again DSS has their own laws.
I think the step dad is blowing smoke

Well 3 years is my limit on girls.
So its OK.

So you should tell the step dad to plainly off.
That his step daughter does not want him in her life and if he cared about her in any way respect her wishs.

I am 18 now and I want my way in any situation.
So I'm guessin she is the same with the way she wants things.

Its her choice if anything happens.
So consult her about it and hope for the best.

Best of luck

He doesn't need to say anything to the step dad AND he shouldn't
The foster parents and DSS are in charge
And she is at the age of consent so I don't think he can even be charged with harboring a minor.
