Abused minor wanting emancipationHow old is the minor? Abused in what way? No child should be abused. If a minor is truly being abused they should go to someone they trust and explain what is happening. You have to prove you are being abused. If there is proof, you can be placed with relatives if there are any available. If not, you will be placed in foster care. Does this minor really want to be emancipated or just want out of an abusive situation? Being placed with a loving family member is a better choice, it gives you time to heal and deal with all of the changes in your life that you are going to be facing.

No.

There are very few states that allow the emancipation of minors.

In those states that do, abuse or neglect is not grounds for such.

Those issues should be addressed by the state's department of child protective services.

If a minor (or anyone) believes themselves to be in danger of physical harm they should contact local authorities immediately or 911.
