Parents retain legal custody until the child reaches the state's age of majority or a court rules otherwise. In cases where minors arbitrarily leave without parental permission the parents have several options that can be used. One option is to request the court to release them from their parental obligations and have the minor child being made a ward of the state and remanded to the custody juvenile authorities. A few states have procedures for the emancipation of a minor who is at least 16, but the such petitions are rarely granted.
