Child Abandonment?

[cbg]

There are only 7 states when the date of high school graduation has any affect on a minor's reaching majority. In 43 states plus the District of Columbia, it occurs on the date of the appropriate birthday, regardless of high school graduation. (And in a couple of those 7 states, it's whichever came first.)

Idaho is among the majority. So the minor became a legal adult on his 18th birthday, regardless of whether he had graduated from high school or not.

Nellie, you may be confusing compulsory education with age of majority. In my state an 18 year old has reached the age of majority but can still be required to attend school and be considered a dependent until graduation.
