At what age can a child leave their home with their parents' permission?
Asked by Wiki User
The legal age of majority can be from 18-21 depending on the state. Only a few states allow a minor to file for early emancipation and such a petition would not be granted on a "Because I want to.." request. If the situation warrants the minor can be removed from the family home and be deemed a ward of the court, and placed in a foster and/or group home. That would only happen after a complete investigation by DSS and a court hearing, the final decision would be made by the presiding judge.

What is the legal age when kids can stay home alone in Oregon?
Asked by Wiki User
Safe child care includes:
* A designated person who can take care of a child's individual needs * A plan to reach the parent in an emergency A child should not be left in a position of authority or be left alone in situations beyond his ability to handle. Each child must be looked at individually to make sure he or she is physically and emotionally able to handle the given responsibility. The law does not specify the age at which a child can be left alone. However, a child under 10 cannot be left unattended for such a period of time as may likely endanger their health or welfare (ORS 163.545).
Oregon law does not state specifically an age at which children may be left home. ORS 163.545 states, "(1) A person having custody or control of a child under ten years of age commits the crime of child neglect if, with criminal negligence, the person leaves the child unattended in or at any place for such period of time as may be likely to endanger the health or welfare of such child."
Can your parents call the police or take you to court if you move out at 17 in Texas?
Asked by Wiki User
Here is more input:
- When i was 16 i ranaway, and yes i was filed as a runaway and had to go home BUT my mother did speak DIRECTLY to a cop and he said that if i was 17 there was nothing he could do to MAKE me go home, OR file me as a runaway. He couldn't do either. The only thing is you DO have to be attending school. and at least call your parents and tell them that you are okay if that's what the cop decides.
- There may be a loophole for 17-year-olds in Texas. Apparently if they are supporting themselves Texas police won't generally force a 17-year-old to go home.

What is the drinking age in Washington DC?
Asked by Wiki User
21 years of age, effective Wednesday October 1st, 1986 as a result of emergency legislation to raise the drinking age from 18 to 21.
The bill was approved by a 10-3 Council vote late on the night of Tuesday September 23rd, 1986.
There was a grandfather clause exempting those who turned 18 before 10/1/1986, allowing that group to drink beer and wine.
Proponents said the grandfather clause was essential to get the measure passed because some council members objected to taking an existing right away from 18-year-olds.
Those born between 10/2/65 and 09/30/68 would be allowed to drink beer and wine under the grandfather clause.
By 10/1/1989 those allowed to drink beer and wine under the grandfather clause would all be older than 21.

Michigans age of consent?
Asked by Wiki User
The age of consent in Michigan is 16 which means if you had consensual sex with a 16 year old, you would not be in violation of Michigan sexual offense laws for criminal sexual conduct; unless, the adult is a teacher or school administrator in the school where the minor is a student, in which case the age of consent changes to 18.
750.520e Criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree;
1) A person is guilty of criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree if he or she engages in sexual "contact"with another person and if any of the following circumstances exist:
(a) That other person is at least 13 years of age but less than 16 years of age, and the actor is 5 or more years older than that other person.
(f) That other person is at least 16 years of age but less than 18 years of age and a student at a public or nonpublic school, and the actor is a teacher, substitute teacher, or administrator of that public or nonpublic school. This subdivision does not apply if the other person is emancipated or if both persons are lawfully married to each other at the time of the alleged violation.
(2) Criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of not more than $500.00, or both.
It is important to note that the Federal Age of Consent is 18, which supercedes all state laws.

Can you legally move in with a close family friend if you think your mother is neglecting you?
Asked by Wiki User
Not if you are still considered a minor under the laws of the state of residency. The decision of whether or not a parent is neglectful and/or abusive is one that is made by a judge, not by an individual. If the minor believes they are in such a situation they should contact the state's department of family services for assistance. Any person allowing a minor to live with them knowing it is done without the consent of said minor's parents or guardian is subject to criminal and/or civil penalties.
