What is the name of your state? Missouri
I am 16 years old at the time, but I wish to move out when I turn 17 (March). I have searched online for the information, and came across something. I was wanting to know if it was correct. I was taken away from my mother in Texas, for drug use. Now, I was given to my biological father who before two months ago, I had not seen or spoken with him in 10 years, who also does a less powerful form of drugs (Marijuana, as compared to my mother who used cocaine and stole my medication).
Missouri 17 Law"
Currently in the state of Missouri a 17 year old is not considered a runaway if they leave home without parental consent. Teens are not only allowed to run away/ move out of the parents home for ANY reason they see fit, but are actually backed by law enforcement.The parents not only have NO recourse, but can face penalties if they take steps to make their child return home.This practice is commonly referred to as "The 17 Law".
I wanted to know if this was correct, and if not, how can I get an emanipation case?
