If there is anyone here that knows any of the laws spicifically NC laws, I have a question.

My step sons mother supposively was home schooling him last year for the 9th grade, she claims it was thru an online school, where he studies, takes test etc online, and she has to pay for it. Come to find out he only did part of it for about 4 mths and she never paid for there fore he didn't get to do the testing. So am I right to thnk he basicly wasn't in school at all last year? and isn't that illegal if the child is under 16?
He is now 16, should this be reported? is it to late to report because he is already 16 now?
Does she have to prove that he was home schooled?

Thanks in advance
Jodie
