person under 18 years of age is a minor.

Call CPS:

Child Protective Services; the organization that takes care of youth who have been

abused or neglected. If they find that it is unsafe for a child to continue living at

home, CPS may choose to find a safer place for the child to live: with a relative or in

foster care.

Can you move out of your mothers house legally without being considered a runaway?

In most places, you can move out of your mother's house legally if you are at least the age of majority (usually 18) or have been emancipated by a court. If you are under the age of majority, you may need to get her permission or involve the legal system to establish your ability to live independently. It's best to research the laws in your specific area to understand your rights and responsibilities.

However, some states provide exceptions for minors who leave home due to safety concerns or abuse. It's important to check the specific laws in your state.
