If I'm 14 Can I Be Emancipated

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: New York
I am 14 and i NEED to get away from my parent. They won't let me do any sports or anything even remotely fun. If I runaway what will happen?

You'll be caught and dragged back home.

NY does not have a statute for emancipation, and at 14 you are much too young for emancipation anyway. There is not a state in the US that will emancipate a child based on the fact that their parents will not allow them to do sports.

What do you think emancipation is?

If you are being provided shelter, food, clothing, clean drinking water, access to education as required by state law and are not being physically abused, then no, there is no NEED as far as the state or the courts are concerned. You have no constitutional right to sports or fun.

You can't even SEE emancipation from where you are.

let me guess, you were hoping that emancipation meant that you could still have your parents support you but you would be able to do whatever you want.

It doesn't work that way.

You didn't mention your job, your own home, how you were paying for all your own expenses (including insurance, food, rent, utilities and fun) and how your business plan included paying for your own college.

What job does a 14 year old have that makes over $2,500 a month?

Read this.

If you run away from home, the police can pick you up and take you back home. If you habitually run away from home, you can end up in juvie.

Nope... and, worse, they are the boss of you.

If you're being abused or neglected, talk to a counselor at school or call protective services.

It is my understanding that you would have to compile substantial evidence and submit it to the courts that would allow them to determine that your parents are unfit parents. You havent mentioned any physical abuse or neglect in anyway. Sorry but I am sure that them not allowing you to participate in sports would persuade any judge to grant emancipation.

This is completely incorrect. Children of unfit parents are not emancipated. Instead, they are placed in the foster care system. Having bad parents isn't a pass into emancipation.

If you don't know the answer to a question, it is best not to answer rather than guess or to express your opinion of what SHOULD happen.

Thanks,

What exactly are the grounds for neglect and if I try to get away from my parents and put into foster care will my siblings be put into foster care also?

Suppose you tell us what, other than not letting you participate in sports, your parents are doing or not doing that you are categorizing as neglect?

Tell us: How do your parents neglect you? You're hungry? You don't have adequate clothing? No shelter? An untreated medical condition?

No point in going over the grounds. If you think you're being abused, call authorities and report it. Only THEIR opinion will matter anyway, so why second guess them? If they determine that removal for neglect is warranted, yes, you can expect ALL minor children to be removed. Whether or not they will remain together or be split up cannot be known in advance, as it is very dependent on the exact resources available at the time of the removal. They'll try to keep siblings together if possible, but it depends on the number of siblings, their ages, any special needs, etc.
