Not every state has emancipation laws, and Wisconsin is one that does not. There is no statue in Wisconsin under which a minor can petition the court for early emancipation. If there is abuse, then that needs to be reported, but you better be sure you can back it up because those are serious charges. If the allegation of abuse is found to be legitimate, the child will be placed under state care. Abuse can be defined in many ways, however if the minor child believes they are being forced to live in an abusive situation, they should contact the Department of Family Services. It is DFS's responsibility to decide if the claim is legitimate, not the minor child. Do not be concerned about "getting into trouble" if you make a claim, that will not happen. Minor children are often afraid to seek help and therefore remain in an neglectful and/or abusive environment, or leave and place themselves in even more jeopardy. If you need to "talk" to an unbiased person to help sort out any confusion on what you need to do, try www.teenlineonline.org or helponline@teenlineonline.org.

∙ 18y agoNo, you can't just move out at 16. What you can do is report the abuse. An investigation will be done and if warranted the minor would removed from the home and placed in the custody of the state.
