My dad isn’t taking my brother to school so my brother might be going into foster care soon. Can I take temporary legal guardianship of him (he’s 17 I’m 19). He turns 18 in November. My dad is very willing. I am in a stable house with enough rooms. ChatGPT says a POA would be enough. Is that true?

Is CPS already involved?
If they are, you and your dad are going to have to work with them to place your brother with you.
If they’re not already involved and then yes, your dad could give your brother permission to live with you and provide you with the power of attorney so that you can take certain actions for your brother’s care.
Is there a reason you’re 17-year-old brother can’t get himself to school?
