The legal age is 18, but you can go to Child Welfare in your area and charge your guardian. This is a very serious charge, so you'd better be sure that your guardian is actually treating you poorly. These are reasons for charging: Sexual Abuse Mental Abuse ... constantly swearing, ranting/raving (but a hard charge to stick) Not providing you will food and shelter Not allowing you to get an education as far as High School The guardian is doing drugs, bringing strange men/women into the home at all hours. An alcoholic These are the reasons that don't count: Making you come home at a certain time Expecting good grades from you in school Not accepting your friends phone calls after a certain time of night Wanting to know where you are going and how late you will be. Interfering if there are drugs or alcohol involved with the teen Not putting up with swearing Expecting you to do chores around the house So, if you want to press a charge against your guardian you'd better be sure it's the truth or you can be charged.
