Despretly trying to send 13 yr old back home (brooklyn ny) to get him away from the life of drugs and crim he has chosen

have tried all i know to keep this 13 yr old young man in line and on The right track but am unable to get him to follow my rules, or listen to me, he is using drugs, disappearing for days on end with no word, and has been in and out of trouble with the law. I dont know what els to do but send him home to his uncles and god-father who i know will be able to get and keep him on the right track. Im pleading to anyone and everyone help me get this young man out of and away from this life he insists on living!😥🙏
