The cop is wrong. A 17 year old can be reported as a runaway and the parents are still responsible for them in Michigan. While police would rather not get involved, the parents are within their rights to request and receive assistance.
If the 17yo is a runaway, yes. It's illegal to help a runaway from home.
believe in most states it would not be legal as the 17yo is not considered an adult and not able to sign a legally binding document
There are no laws for dating in the US so your parents will decide this since you are a minor. Sex is only allowed if the age of consent in your state is 16-17yo. It's most likely the 38yo does not have the same intentions as the 17yo though so sexual relations should probably be avoided until the 17yo is at least 18 and adult.
Try Glenfiddich 15yo or 18yo. The new Balvenie 17yo Rum Cask is also out if you liked and tried the 17yo Sherry Oak.
17yo, the age of consent in the US is the same for gay and straight in the states.
It can be. Kinda depends on the age. For a 10yo yes but for a 17yo no.
You're old enough to be paying child support and yet you talk like a middle school child?
No, the 17yo is a minor.
You can seek early emancipation if you are 16-17yo. See more in the link below.
Yes. Legally he is a minor and the law makes no difference between a 17yo and a 14yo.
For your sake I hope you are below 18 since the age of consent in Texas is 17 and this otherwise could be statutory rape. Marriage would not change that. For someone aged 16-17yo, pregnant or not, you will need written parental consent on an official form in the presence of the county clerk or an order from the Texas district court authorizing your marriage.
No. Non-residents under the age of 18 is not allowed to marry in New Hampshire. No female under 13 or male under 14 is allowed to marry in New Hampshire under any conditions. Females from 13-17yo and males from 14-17yo can only get married with a waiver and permission from their parent or legal guardian.
