I apologize for the large printing, I don't know how to bring it down: [B]Yes you can. I know this is an old post but take it from a Stepmom and the child's natural mother that found out the hard way that once our daughter also 17 years old ran away from home with a high school freind who is 18 years of age, and female, not male, they ran away to her home. After we brought her home from school to restrict her from anymore contact with this individual who is instigating all this and starting all this from the get go. And has our daughter in her clutches.. we wanted her to stay home with us until she is 18 years old, may 24th she will be. We called the Police for a pick up of her and they told us from the ages of 14-17 years of age, there is nothing they can do unless they walk in and there is drugs, alcoholism and/or violence being conducted in that home right then and there. There is not a thing they can do about bringing her home. So take it from a parent who knows this. You can also be 15-17 years of age and legally drop out of high school. You can also be emancipated from your parents as long as you show you are working and living on your own and doing fine from ages 15 -17 years of age. Parents have no rights at all. Not in Maine. Take it from someone who found out the hard way. I am currently trying to do something about it in the Legislation to change this law. Because let's get real. Who in Maine is going to hire an underaged child to work for them? No one not in today's market. My daughter's idea of work right now is to go to a convenience store and work. I just don't get it I really don't. [/B] [/QUOTE]
