In every state a 17-year-old who has not been emancipated is considered to be a minor. Your parents can report you as a runaway. Depending on the laws of your state, the boyfriend could get into trouble also--harboring a runaway, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and possibly other (more serious) charges as well. It appears that you have received some misinformation. As the previous poster cited you are not legally of age until 18 and also the consequences pertaining to the action apply. Therefore your parents or legal guardian can take whatever choices available to have you returned to their custody that are in accordance with the laws of the state. In addition to the age of majority issue there are age of sexual consent and compulsory education laws that could apply.
I am 22 years old and my best friend who is 21 has a 16 year old cousin that is going through something very similar to what you are describing. I am no expert, but I would do what my friend's cousin did which is to go to some one you can trust such as a trusting family member or the parents of a close frinend that you feel you can trust. Let them know what is going on and hopefully they will go to the proper authorities to report the abuse. it might be hard to do because I know you love your parents no matter what but they need a wake up call and hopefully this will be it for them. It did work for my friend's cousin and after several months of family counseling he and his family are doing great and for once in a long time he is happy to have a loving, caring family again.
If your parent is mentally abusive and you are 17 could you legally move into your boyfriend's house without your parent having a say?
your parents cant call the cops as i dont think you need permission at 17 to move out! hope it all goes well
BECAUSE THEY WILL CALL THERE PARENTS UP WHERE EVER YOU ARE, AND YOU CAN GET IN TROUBLE
Call the police and tell them daughters boyfriend tried to kill her. They will take care of it.

Good luck. Your parents know everything.
He can. It depends on how your parents react to him. If they think it's bad then they can call the police. But he will not get in trouble unless you are having sex with him.
call his parents and the cops and hope for the best.

You will only be able to leave your parents home at 17 with permission. the parents can call the police if you leave before you are 18.
i really do not know you shouldn't get in trouble for moving out of your parents house at 17 but i really do not know if you can move in with your boyfriend. I'm still trying to figure that out because i need to know. At 17 you can move out and the cops should not make you come back home all they can do is tell you to call and let your guardian or parent know where you are at and that you are okay. Also you have to prove that you have a permanent home and can take care of yourself and attending school
You dump your tell your parents and call the police.
if its okay with yours and his parents then yes
if it is serios, call 911. if its not so serious call a friend or someone close to help with the situation. if u are something like 5-12 years old then call your parents...
You call a person that is causing trouble a trouble maker.
YES!
Tell your parents and ask them to call the police and help you while you talk to them. He needs help but you dont need him.
