Depends on the state he/she lives in. Some states are as young as 12. Check with local authorities.
Only up top the age of 18!
here in canada the legal age for sex is 14 and you can leave home at 16!!!i don`t know about where you are
I think it's 16 when parents cant do anything, but as above I think it depends by state, but that's the age in Michigan.


Answer:
Call the family courts in your area. If she can prove to the family courts that she can take of herself without her parents, she can be emancipated without a choice from her parents.
Good luck Hon.
He/she is a minor, her/his parents can report him/her as a runaway. Any adults who assists the minor can be charged.... He/she won't be considered adult until he/she reaches the age of 18.
