In my state (Louisiana), once you are 17 you are no longer considered a juvenile, and can no longer be listed as a runaway. Basically, you can leave and the cops can't do anything about it. However, you still can't sign a lease or open a bank account, which severely limits your independence. I'm in the same situation, and the police basically told my father that they couldn't do anything about it.

The laws vary by state, so the best thing you can do is call your state police department and ask. You can also check their website for information about it. Just make sure you contact the STATE police and not local, because they can give you the best answer.

Yes, I suppose you could, but that does not mean that you're emancipated. Mom and Dad could decide at any time to make you come back home. And Mom and Dad could still be held responsible for your actions (I wonder if they're aware of that?). And you would need their help to do certain things, such as enroll in school and rent an apartment (because a minor cannot enter into a binding contract such a rental agreement). There may be other issues as well. YES I MOVED OUT WENE I WAS 16, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE PARENTAL CONSENT......BUT REMEMBER IT HAS ITS DRAW BACKS YOULL ALWAYS END UP BACK HOME......

Usually, yes... For the most part, if you are within 6 months of turning 18, the police won't even bother to look for you. This is true no matter what state you live in. Not legally. The legal age of majority in all but four states is 18. In Alabama and Nebraska it is 19, in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21. Some states have established laws and procedures (such as Michigan) which allow authorities to take an absentee minor into custody and return them to the family home or to a juvenile facility. Other states require the minor's parent(s) or legal guardian to obtain a court order of requisition to have the minor returned to the family home. In any state in a situation where the minor has violated the law (even a traffic ticket) or has been found living in an unsafe or unacceptable environment, authorities can take the minor into custody and remand them to a juvenile facility to await a decision by the juvenile court.
