Yes, it's illegal to cut yourself off from them and become independent at 16 unless both parents give consent. Once you turn 18, you can leave without parental consent.

No they do not. You will need someone to have custody of you. And if the parent want their child to stay and be the parent they would not give up their rights. There would be no point. To decide where to live you have to be 18 so this is something your parents decide for you and by giving up his/hers rights they can not make any decisions regarding the child. The only thing they still have a right to do is to pay child support.
