First and foremost the legal guardian cannot "kick out" a minor who has been given into their care. Therefore, the guardian has committed a serious error in judgment and should be held accountable by the court. The 16-year-old is not of legal age to live on their own and should contact the Florida Department of Children and Family Services for assistance, 1-800-96Abuse, http://www.myflorida.com/cf_web She is responsible for him until he is 18. If he was kicked out, then she should go to the police and have them speak with the gaurdian.
