If you run away in Massachusetts at 17 can they force you home?

Massachusetts has a conflicting law when it comes to a 17 year old leaving the family home. The law states that a 17 year old cannot leave home, a parent cannot force a 17 year old to leave their home nor can a parent give permission to a 17 year old to live elsewhere. The 17 year old may runaway from home but the police will not force the child to go home yet the parents are still financially, medically and legally responsible for the child. The child can choose to enter the parents home and leave again if they wish and the parent can do nothing more than report child as a runaway. If the child is using drugs or alcohol or mentally ill you can petition the court for a 30 day commitment. The only option to alleviate parental responsibilty is to appoint child a guardian.
