I understand how hard it is being 14 years old.  It seems like just yesterday that I was in the same position - the nervousness, the insecurity, not to mention the stir-crazy feelings that go along with staying in one (possibly small) town for so many years.  I'm only 23 now, and I'm from the US but now living in Japan.  \n\nI felt the same feelings of wanting to run away when I was a teenager, but trust me when I say you will miss your family and friends when you do.  You have your whole life to not be with them, but just enjoy them while you have them.  I know it's hard to understand now, but believe me that you will never be surrounded by so many people that love you as you do when you're under the age of 18.  \n\nThat's what I would tell your friend.  That and no, I'm involved with law and it's impossible to start a legal career at 14.  \n\nTell your friend to just enjoy being a 14-year-old because it only happens once in your life, and BELIEVE ME you will miss it when you're older.

Please do not allow a child to cost you the love of your life.  I know this is difficult...children go thru their growing pains, and this one sounds so confused right now.  With the background of her mother, this child needs stability and sanity in her life, and to feel safe.  She may fight her father on this, but it would not be in her best interest to live with her mother, it's an unhealthy environment for her and like you said, she will end up becoming her mother.  If her father has legal custody, fight for her!  Keep her in your home, no matter how bratty she gets, it is in her best interest.  Please, all of you go to family counselling...and help give this child a future that does not involve drug abuse.  Even with her rebellion and rudeness, you know that for her to leave your home is not the best thing for her.  She's a child, she cannot make her own decision in this matter.  Once she's 18, then she can decide.

at 17 your legally able to move out if you think you can handle it. even though police or "legal authorities" dont recommend it and like to get ignorant. You cant be sent back home. You can be tried as an adult at 17 so you can move out at 17. I moved out at 17 and the police said there is nothing that can be done. Goodluck and take care

Try to make them understand her or else tough it out until she is old enough and mature enough to move out on her own

I feel sorry for you. I hope you have a good job and provide for yourself with your own money, because that is what the court will look at. Would you have a place to stay for the next couple of years? If I were you, and this is very important for you to consider. You could call Children Services and talk to someone there. They will want to know all the info that you have shared here and all the info that you have not shared here. You have to tell the truth. Most likely the police will get involved and your parents may go to jail, depending on what they find when they come to your house. Children Services will take you and any siblings out of the house and put you in foster care. You may like the home you go to and you might not. If it is as bad as you say, don't hesitate to call them. If you need more advice you need to go to your school counsellor and they will get things rolling for you. I wish you the best of luck.

Yes, of course your right...Umm since when does a snooty nosed 15 year old girl get off giving adults orders, especially to you whom she has absolutly no connection with. And because she is only a minor, there is no court on this planet that would even consider giving her any custody rights whatsoever as she has no connection with you or your child. Hell, your ex is also in the sh#t for mandatory rape, if he's going out with this girl and doing the business with her. If I were you, I would move away from all of them to give you at least a mental rest, they all sound like hicks and do you really want your child growing up around people like that. If she continues to do this, I think you need to ring the police yourself and tell them about the situation between this girl and your ex, or ring up a mental health team to come out and get her, she sounds pretty bonkers.

If you want to help her, educate yourself about the due process involved in abuse cases. In most instances, the minor is removed from the home until an investigation is completed. She may be moved to a home of a family member (who may or may not allow her father to see her despite the courts order), a foster home (where she may or may not be mistreated) or a group home (again, where she may or may not be mistreated). I am not suggesting that child abuse is right, but there are no ways of guaranteeing that she will not be further victimized in her quest for help. Before you (or she) make a plan on what to do, consider all the options involved. Good luck. \n\nP.S. I am an abuse survivor and child abuse advocate. Please feel free to contact me through my email here.

the only way is to be emancipated but you need an attorney and by the time the case is up you will probably be 18 anyway.  Unless you are being abused physically or sexually your problems probably aren't that bad.  You will be fine.

Talk to a social worker and see if you can get custody/guardianship for her. Or seek legal aid. \n\nBut whatever you do, keep it legal and open. No tricks, no running away, nothing like that.

Yes, he can get in trouble. Depending on the Age of Consent in your state, which I believe it is 18, and with him being 25, you are a minor. You would need to Emancipate yourself to move out. Not sure what you would need to do, but if it is something like abuse, you need to talk to a school councilor. \nIf it is because your Mother will not let you see this guy, then I am afraid there might not be much you can do...

You don't actually gain any new rights.  However, you could get an attorney and try to become emancipated from your mother.  You would have to prove that you have extenuating circumstances, a means of financial support while still attending school and you would have to have someone willing to act as your guardian.

Most of the time they can move out of state for a job. Most of the time they have to prove the work part. This only applies when you have vistiation rights and are paying child support. The move must be work related. We just can't pick up and move because we feel like it. There are so many options and all states have different rules. I would always seek legal advice concerning these matters. The legal world is where you will find the best answer.

The Kansas Law is 18 yrs old. Check with local County Attorney Office. Being out on your own is NOT a bed of roses,and you are wanting out in the beginning of winter in Kansas? Good luck kid,you are going to need it. Juvy Hall isn't what you might think it is going to be like,maybe you should reconsider and sit down with a Juvy Court Officer and talk these problems out with your Parents. Ask at local courthouse if you can talk to someone to help you with problems at home with your parents.

In todays day and age, you most likely can. If she has a decent job I'm sure you can find a lawyer that can give you the best info answer.

I am assuming that you had legal custody and he had visitation rights?  \nTo my knowledge that should not effect her ability to get services from the state.  As long as she is a resident of IL she should continue getting benefits.  The only people that would care who has legal custody is you, her, and her dad.\nKeep in mind - if she lives with him - you could be liable for child-support payments to her dad.

Don't leave.  Don't leave, don't leave!!!!  Been there done it!  I no longer have custody of my daughter and I pay child support and don't see my daughter.  Don't do it.  ...  I also know that no matter what ppl say, you are going to do what you want.  But when I was your age, I was in the same situation!  Gosh, I pray I could truely speak to you and tell you all I have done and gone through!  You have no idea what will happen.  I would of never in a million years thought I would loose her and now that I am back in the same city as her - I don't even see her!  I haven't missed a beat with sending my child support - I just wish I could see her as the courts have ordered!  I will pray for you and once again... Don't leave - stay here and face it!  If this new guy loves you he will find something here or come back!

i believe a 15 year old would have alot of say in california.  has your mom filed an order to show cause why she can't move?  does she have good reason other than your being a performer? after all, there is L.A.  how far from LA do your live? there needs to be good cause for her to move and take you with her.  there is much case law on the subject. check out "findlaw.com", search Cal cases and codes, search words "move-away"
