Call the family courts in your area. If she can prove to the family courts that she can take of herself without her parents, she can be emancipated without a choice from her parents.
Good luck Hon.

Depends on the state he/she lives in. Some states are as young as 12. Check with local authorities.

I think it's 16 when parents cant do anything, but as above I think it depends by state, but that's the age in Michigan.

He/she is a minor, her/his parents can report him/her as a runaway. Any adults who assists the minor can be charged.... He/she won't be considered adult until he/she reaches the age of 18.
