Can you be put in foster care at 16 in Colorado

Yes, at 16 you are still a minor and need to be in the care of an adult.

First, please don't start multiple threads over the same question. If you need to add a follow-up question or info, use the Answer options at the bottom of the page.

Please explain the circumstance so we can really help. If your parents can no longer care for you or there are abuse issues, generally all children will be placed in care.

So my dad is leaving and my mom wants to put my in foster care but not my little sister there is no issuse at my house my mom just douse not want me but my sister douse she have to put bolth of us in foster care if she put me and she can still care for us and everything an am 16 my sister is 13

No, you both don't HAVE to go into foster care.

Why has she decided that she doesn't want you in the house if she is able to care for you?

Where is your father in all of this?

Yes children can be separated and one put into foster care or one child can go with one parent and the other with another

First of all foster care is not a baby sitter provided by the state for when a parent doesn't want a child anymore. So if your mother thinks she will just walk into a family services office and say here's my child you take her, she is sadly mistaken. If she feels she can't take care of a 16 yr old they will wonder about taking care of a 13 yr old.

Second, why is your dad leaving? Can custody be split so you can live with your dad?

We really need even more background here.
