ok moot mentioned cap being quentin’s parole officer which reminds me of this thing i always come back to:
who the fuck had legal custody of quentin at the jgs.
like. his adopted parents didn’t pull an elixir & pawn him off in the school, they just told him he was adopted - & then most likely got told he was dead. were they told he was alive again? did they know enough abt how he changed before the riot to know that was their kid on tv terrorizing an arms conference?
and if he was in new york state custody - like first & foremost, again, this boy was dead. & while i’m sure marvel new york is used to this bullshit, that? may complicate a lot of things, i’m sure, including letting a school that isn’t-but-totally-definitely-is the same one that he died at handle him, plus - it’s a boarding school. there is no guarantee that boy is even a new yorker???
& then adding the crimes on top of it… you caused an international incident. SHIELD & the avengers want your ass. logan wolverine is the only one on this bitch of an earth vouching for you & HE can only be trusted about as far as a baseline human can throw him, in legal matters & certainly with guardianship. quentin can’t actually be under the school’s jurisdiction/guardianship as an institution, they don’t have that as an educational facility (hence why dani had to take guardianship of josh when his parents surrendered him), but even if they were able to get the jgs classified as a group home for quentin to be placed there, the state would have to decide to make that placement, & hank only barely got the board of education on their side. who the fuck bullied the ny department of child services into letting the undead terrorist live in the mutant group home, cap???
