Parents are responsible until the age of majority, which is 18, although in some states the child can choose to leave home at 17 and cannot be forced to return (a loophole created by state law allowing a child to go to jail at 17). Ina strange twist, in those states (like Georgia) should the child leave at 17, the parents are legally responsible for some of their actions until 18.
