The age of majority in Wisconsin is 18. If the 17 year old has finished school and is self-supporting the court might consider early emancipation unless it received objection from the parent(s) or legal guardian. The reality is that many minors move out of the family home before they are of legal age. If they do not end up living on the street and/or getting into trouble with the authorities, or the parents do not make the attempt to have them returned home, little if any action is taken. The reasons for minors being denied the right to leave is rather obvious on many levels. One factor is parents by law (with a few exceptions) are financially and legally responsible for their child as long as that child is a minor. Also there are the health, safety, economic, educational and so forth issues.
