There are very few states that allow the emancipation of minors.
In those states that do, abuse or neglect is not grounds for such.
Those issues should be addressed by the state's department of child protective services.
If a minor (or anyone) believes themselves to be in danger of physical harm they should contact local authorities immediately or 911.
