How much control do your parents really have over their kids in terms of the law?
Jazzdreamer
They have total control. A child is a minor until 18 years old and the parent is responsible for the child until they turn 18.
Another view:
Parents do not have total control over minor children. The degree of control depends on the particular state's law. For example in some states, a minor child at a particular age has the right to medical privacy even from their own parents. Some even give minors over 16 the right to obtain Birth Control pills without the parents' consent or even their knowledge.
A state can grant or deny legal privileges to whomever it chooses, minor or adult provided they are within constitutional guidelines of due process. In fact the age of 18 can even be altered as a state may desire, except that person under 18 would still be allowed to vote even though they are considered minors under state law, because the US Constitution grants all persons over 18 the right to vote. The constitution does not state that 18 is the age for a state to declare a person an adult.
