Can a youth in Chicago, Illinois who is a ward of the state, but under the age 18 move to a different state?

Until the youth is of legal age and no longer a ward, she cannot leave the state.

i would doubt it but it depends heavily on where you live due to the differences in law from state to state.also is he your legal gaurdian because if he isn't then it's even less likely.

No.  The state should have went after him once you became a ward.  The $ would be owed to the state but not to you.  Sorry for your situation but it may be best to move on.  He's not entitled to any part of your life now that you are emancipated.  If you don't want him around then get a restraining order.

Contrary to what most people think, most states do not have laws addressing minimum ages to babysit or minimum ages that children can be left alone.  Unless someone can cite a specific Illinois law, chances are the answers you get here are of little value.  While 15 or 16 might sound like logical numbers, that doesn't mean the answers are correct on the law.\n\nI don't know Illinois law nor am I going to make up some number for you.

I am not sure what your are speaking of. Restate your question. Juveniles (in most states) are adjudicated in a separate court away from adults. Most are held there until a Juvenile reaches their 16th birthday, unto which any new charges will be tried in regular court.

As a very general rule, no you cannot.  You must be 18 to legally sign any contract.

I don't know the specific laws in Illinois, you need to contact an attorney for that, but in most states both parents have to sign away their rights to the minor child.  You don't state whether your mother is living or not.  So we will assume she is not for the sake of the discussion.  You would need to go before a judge requesting to be made the guardian of the child.  The court will look at all the circumstances and determine if you are suitable to be the guardian.  If found to be acceptable you will be awarded custody and guardianship papers with all rights and responsibilities as if you were the natural parent.  Again I would advise you to contact an attorney regarding the specifics you would need to perform to obtain guardianship of your brother.

no your not legally an adult until your 18 and not only could your parents put him in jail but so can the state because he is messing with a minor.

Depends on where you live.  Some places it's 16. Some 15 1/2.  There are even some places that are changing the age to 17 or 18.

No. If they are lucky enough to not get caught until they are 19, then the person is no longer a youth.

Only if you get your parent or guardian to co-sign for you. Contracts with minors are unenforceable, even if you've already graduated from high school.

I just moved from TN back to Chicago after spending 4 yrs there.  Keep in mind that it is a college/party town.  Look for accredited daycares...you need to just drop in and visit, see how you are welcomed.

A 17 year old could move away from home if they have their parents’ or legal guardian’s permission, like to go to college. Or, a 17 year old could become legally emancipated and enjoy the same freedoms as any other person who is at least 18 years old. In some states, emancipation is automatic if the 17 year old gets married. It could also be ordered by the courts.

Possibly in Missouri. I know that you can here if you are dead, or under 18.

***you have to sign for her**** but she can move out when she is 17 if she wants as long  she lives with a adult and going to school there is nothing you can do about that\n\n(in texas anyway)

If we are speaking in the rehlm of ethics, you should be notified of any medications taken by the child... Legally, if this juvenile center is treating your child for any sort of mental illness, they do not have to notify you if he/she is older than 12.\n\nI also believe that since the child is a ward of the state due to his/her incarceration, the state does not have to notify you of any new charges or pending charges....
