Does DFACS consider a 17 year old an adult in Georgia?
No, you're still a child until 18; however, Georgia allows you to go to jail at 17, so that creates a bit of a loophole. Parents cannot kick out a child until age 18, but the child can leave on his/her own at 17 and cannot be forced to return. Be aware that you cannot sign any Contracts or Leases until age 18.
Can a 17 year old and a 13 year old have true love?
No. First of all, the 13-year-old is basically still just a child, so the 17-year-old would be guilty of child molestation or grooming for molestation and can be and should be put in jail or sent to obligatory counseling.
If you are 17-year-old in the State of Georgia can you legally move in with a friend in New York without consent?
Although not widely known, in Georgia, a teen can go to jail at age 17. Because of that, the police will not force a person who is 17 to go back home if he/she leaves. The parents cannot kick the child out until age 18, but the child can leave at 17, and therre is nothing the parents can do to stop it.

How long a parent can legally ground a child for?
Parents are responsible until the age of majority, which is 18, although in some states the child can choose to leave home at 17 and cannot be forced to return (a loophole created by state law allowing a child to go to jail at 17). Ina strange twist, in those states (like Georgia) should the child leave at 17, the parents are legally responsible for some of their actions until 18.

Can you leave home at 17 without parental consent in Georgia?
A parent is responsible (as in a lawsuit) for the child's actions unless he/she becomes emancipated, joins the military, or gets married (requiring parental consent in Georgia if under 18). Yes, the age of majority is 18; however, a child can leave at 17. A parent cannnot force them to stay. But they cannot be kicked out until age 18. Call the police and ask. The police do have jurisdiction in this matter, because the child can be charged as a runaway and sent to juvenile detention if just 16 (or less). In Georgia, if the child is 17, the police will not do anything, and the child may leave without consent. But ther parents cannot kick the child out until age 18. Absolutely, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If a police officer says no, ask to speak to his/her immediate supervisor. In Georgia, a person can now go to jail at age seventeen. That created a unique twist in the law. Parents are responsible for a child until age 18, so they will still be responsible for the child's actions; however, they cannnot force the child to stay should the child wish to leave. Parents also cannot kick the child out until age 18.
