In a story I am writing a boy's father commits suicide, I was wondering if there was any online resource for what the police would do with the boy and his younger brother.
I was thinking it happened in a small town in Kansas, the boy is 13 years old with a 7 year old brother, only living relative is 19 year old sister in another state.
Is there anywhere I could find information about what would be done?
Only the first day or so matters for the story as acts of plot make it moot afterward.
