I suppose you can do. If your parents deny you to, then you can apply for emancipation.

Remember that your parents (if they do not want you to move) are concerned about you.

It is not as easy as one might think to move out that early on, although with the right kind of support from a boyfriend or your family this could be a correct next step.

Regards.

If a minor is reported as a runaway the police will look after her and the people protecting and helping her will get into trouble for harboring a runaway. You say she's of legal age and with that I assume you mean moving out and that you then have given her permission. A minor can not move out without parental permission unless she is emancipated by the court. Legal age is 18 and you will be responsible for her until she is 18. Even if she move out. So unless she is emancipated by the court she is still a minor and abuse should be reported to the CPS and police. If you can't not go near they can ask her if she wants out.

No, you are of legal age and can move if you want. If you however just leave and don't tell them they will probably report you as missing.

Why does child abuse occur?

Some parents abuse their kids because they have an alcohol or drugs problem, or they have an extreme temper and they take it out on their kids, some parents abuse their kids because the parents went through something traumatic like losing a wife or husband (but that's still not an excuse to start abusing your child!) Some parents abuse their children because they were abused when they were children, and then, you get some people who are just plain cruel and enjoy abusing children. Sometimes kids are abused because of temper tantrums or how they act all the time to their parents.

Is controlling someone a sign of abuse?

It depends on what kind of control this is. If it's a parent controlling their child's behaviour through abuse for their own personal reasons (physical harm.etc) then yes this is a sign of abuse but there are many different types of control. For example parents can control kids by telling them what to eat or when to sleep but that is not a sign of abuse.. I think if you reword your question to something/some event that is more specific this answer won't be as vague.
