depends on the state. most of the time the 17 year old will either have to be emancipated (sp?) from their parents. * No minors cannot enter into legally binding contracts without the approval of the state court in the county where the contract is to be implemented.

Why should minors not be given services without informed or signed parental or guardian consent?
Minors are seen as "mentally incompetent", or, in other words, not capable of making rational decisions on their own. Legally, minors CAN enter into a contract; however, the minor is, generally, exempt from any punishments or sanctions of that contract. The adult, on the other hand, is fully responsible for it. Or, in short, the minor can violate the contract, and receive little-to-no punishment, while you are still held responsible if you did the same. So, it is not illegal to service minors. It's just not in your best interest.
