Yes it is the law in the UK.  You cannot let a child leave (unless to an adult guardian) before the age of 16 and neither can they leave of their own free will. The police will return them to home xx

If everything is in order between you and your mother, I see no reason why you couldn't venture off on your own!  Check the local laws and statues in your town.  Usually 18 is the adult age, but there are exceptions to the laws in some areas.  If you go live with a relative and you are "underage", then a guardianship contract would have to be amended by both partys, your parents and your live-in relatives or adult-head of house.  But I really don't think they will make a big thing out of just being one year away from adulthood for you, or anyone else, anywhere!  I say, just pack your bags, and with your mom's blessing, go off and find your destiny my child!  Have fun and stay out of trouble, ok?  LOL

The Kansas Law is 18 yrs old. Check with local County Attorney Office. Being out on your own is NOT a bed of roses,and you are wanting out in the beginning of winter in Kansas? Good luck kid,you are going to need it. Juvy Hall isn't what you might think it is going to be like,maybe you should reconsider and sit down with a Juvy Court Officer and talk these problems out with your Parents. Ask at local courthouse if you can talk to someone to help you with problems at home with your parents.

A 16 year old can petition for emancipation, but must prove that he/she is able to care for him/herself.

Hi, I'm from Carolina, and I'm not sure if there is a law for that what you asked. I think common sense plays more a part than anything. I think it is safe when a child reaches 10-12 years old. Of course there are 10-12 year olds who are dependable, and some that are not, I think it depends on your kids. I know of a 12 year old who was in daycare because his mom couldn't trust him enough to stay at home and not burn down the house, or let strangers in while she worked. Generally around that age, they should be able to stay home by themselves until a first shift working parent(s) come home for the evening. Most of the time the child is only there for 2-3 hours alone before an adult get s there, which is not bad. As a child with both parents working, I remember staying there for an hour and a half until my mother got off work. We walked home from school, me,my brother and my little sister. My bro was the oldest at  10, I was 8 and lil' sis was 5 or 6. We were good kids and me and lil' sis listened to our bro. We would not answer the phone, go outside, cook anything, or watch t.v (until homework was done) no tv until homework was done. He would threaten to tell if we didn't listen to him, and we did since he was the oldest and in charge. I am 28 now, and I'm still alive and well. That is my point. It depends on your kids! My bro was responsible at 10 years old, so my folks knew they could trust him to watch over his baby sisters!

I would say this girl has no respect for parental boundaries.  I would speak to my son and let him know this type of behavior is unacceptable in your house and that if this young lady, and I put that loosely, is going to be over again she better mind her tongue. I would want other parents to tell me if my child was disrespectful in their home. Even at 17.  She isn't going to make it very far in life with this personality.  If it happened again I would directly show my disapproval to the girl, and ask her to leave.

She has no evidence of anything. She is getting what we call 'cold feet'. She is not 100% certain he is telling the truth. It is not possible for her to be 100% certain.\n\nThe boy can say to her "You must trust me. I have decent parents. Would they allow me to behave shamefully? No."\n\nIt is OK to continue this relationship. Many people sometimes forget to trust. If she returns to trusting, it is OK.

how to you associate with this lady? if you have no obligation, then just avoid being around her, if that fails then speak with the mother, or do something about it yourself, it is your right and duty to protect your child, so maybe you can talk to the ten year old, it'll make her mother look stupid for not disciplining her own child

Well, have you spoiled her in her earlier years? Not anything bad about your parenting or something like that, they are adorable and sometimes you can't help but give them everything, lol. My friend did this and when he started asking for help around the house, his daughter felt she didn't have to do it because she never had to before. It went on with a month and he had to talk with her about it every few days. She finally got annoyed and started helping out though, lol. Then again, 11 is near teenager...and we all fear the teenage daughter...and/or the teenage daughter's boyfriend.

Check with local/state laws.\nSome places have a minimum age under which a child cannot go door to door without parent supervision.

Tell the friend to get legal advice about child support.  I don't know Singapore law but I image that fathers are held responsible to support their kids just like they are here.  In Canada a 17 year old is above the age of consent and he would not be criminally responsible (unless the guy was in a position of authority).  As for her mental/physical hurt?  Did he rape her? If she had sex with him then she bears at least half of the blame.
