It depends on what state you live in. call social services if you're that worried. You may not get her but she'd be safer.

This varies by jurisdiction.  Mine has no age description.  Use common sense and knowledge of your child's own abilities-including stranger danger.\n\nIf they're of school age, call the school.  They will know.

I started baby sitting at the age of 12.  I haven't heard of a certain legal  age in Texas.  \n\nI would think that a parent could leave a child alone depending on the maturity level of that child  ..starting around 10 or 11.  I didn't leave mine only to run up to the store and back because I just didn't feel that he would want to stay by herself,and would be lonely\n There are some 15 yr olds that shouldn't be left alone,,,lol.  (sorry guys...but you know who you are//the ones that get into the liquor cabinet.. make prank calls, look up things on the internet that they shouldn't, watch bad movies. etc.

Generally, a minor cannot legally live on her own without her parents' permission.  In rare cases a minor may be emancipated by a family court judge.  This is usually only done for persons in their late teens (16-17) who have completed school and are financially indpendent.  The intention is to allow teenagers who are capable of living indpendently the ability to make their own legal and medical decisions, and protect them financially.  It must also be demonstrated that it is not in the best interest of the minor to remain a dependent of her parents until she is 18.  An emancipated minor is for the most part legally treated as an adult, and would be free to move out of state without her parents consent.

I would contact your local domestic abuse organization/women's shelter to help you make a plan to leave. The safety of yourself and your kids is absolutely important. They can help you gather materials you will need before you leave (like records, identification, etc.)\n\nThey will also have advice on getting legal help as well. They can connect you to where you can protect yourself and your kids. They can help you prepare a restraining order and help you with the legal hoops. \n\nMental abuse is a bad influence on your children, it teaches them that it is okay to treat people like that and they can repeat that pattern when they become adults.

I am posting a quote from a website and will add link...\n\n"A child over the age of 14 can choose which parent to live with, and the Judge will consent unless specific findings are made that the parent chosen is unfit. The Court must also consider the wishes of a child between the ages of 11 and 14 as to which parent they wish to live with. However, this is not binding on the Judge, and other factors could override the child's wishes."

I'm not in favor of leaving children at recreational places without responsible supervision.  If they can come and go without anyone in charge, it is not safe to leave them.  You need to stay there, or find someone who will agree to be responsible for them.  You need to spend some time at the facility yourself and judge if you think it is a safe place.\n\nIt is never safe to drop children off anyplace you don't know about.

In Alabama and Florida the law says a child cannot stay alone until the age of 12.  A child cannot be alone with a younger child until the age of 14.  I would assume Georgia law is very similar.

Depends on your state...Here in Nebraska Legal Majority age is 19. Most states it is 18, but there are special circumstances in most custody agreements that support is necessary through high school. Sounds to me like your daughter needs a swift kick in the pants! It is a very difficult thing to deal with...watching your daughter self-destruct but it sounds like you have no choice. IF she was still living with her father you should be giving him money towards her support...if she is "on her own" in her own apartment, you have no obligation to pay an 18yr olds rent. \n  I would tell her she is on her own...IF she wants to come home and finish High School she can...but if she wants to be a Junkie...she is on her own. She can move into the Dope mans house, get a job, or join the army. All you can do is keep a light on and pray...but you dont have to pay...

My guess is that Michigan law is the same as most other states. When you are 18 you are by law a adult. There fore you have a right to put him or her out just as you have a right to tell any one visting your home to leave.

If you want to help her, educate yourself about the due process involved in abuse cases. In most instances, the minor is removed from the home until an investigation is completed. She may be moved to a home of a family member (who may or may not allow her father to see her despite the courts order), a foster home (where she may or may not be mistreated) or a group home (again, where she may or may not be mistreated). I am not suggesting that child abuse is right, but there are no ways of guaranteeing that she will not be further victimized in her quest for help. Before you (or she) make a plan on what to do, consider all the options involved. Good luck. \n\nP.S. I am an abuse survivor and child abuse advocate.

Depends on the child, the living situation, and if there are friends or relatives nearby.\n\nIf a child is reliably responsible, and you live in a safe area, and there is a neighbor, friend or relative to look in on him frequently, then maybe 14, with understanding of NO friends, etc.\n\nIf you have had any trouble in the past with not listening to your rules, or there is no one to physically come check up on him, then I would say closer to 17.\n\nWhat do I base this on?  Raising 6 kids, plus "extra's", even though they were all good kids.  It's a lot easier to prevent problems than to have to do damage control later.

I'm not sure about Oregon, but in most states all the 14 yr. old child has to do is tell the Judge that she wants to live with you. As long as there are no lingering issues like being deemed an unfit parent, abusive, drug or alcohol problems etc. Good luck.

No. They cannot legally leave their parents until the age of 18.\n12 is out of the question, since they're not allowed to join the work force at that age.\nIn some instances, they can go to court at the age of 17, possibly even 16, and have a judge declare them legally emancipated (free from parental control), but that is rare. The circumstances would need to be unusual.
