In the US, a person is considered a "legal" adult at the age of 18. By the age of 21, they hold all rights and abilities of an adult. Suffrage in the US is 18. There are a few states that the age of adult hood is different. I know that in Missouri it's 17, and in Alabama and Nebraska it's 19. But, are there anymore differences?

No, they cannot. The key here is the age of majority (adulthood) in your state or country. If they are an adult, the parents are no longer responsible. That is usually the age of 18, but could be as high as 21. Check the majority age for your legal jurisdiction.
