    Why not just wait till you're 18?

    I doubt that the police will involve themselves; including if your father puts you over his shoulder and carries you home.

    Child: a young human being below the age of puberty or below the legal age of majority.

    Another three weeks isn't going to kill you. When you're actually 18 you can walk out the door and never look back, and no one can do a darned thing about it. As long as you're under 18, even if only by a matter of weeks, there's no absolute guarantee that you won't end up back home. If your mother is determined enough and you're even one day under 18, she can make trouble for you.

    Adults have the maturity to control themselves until the circumstances are in their favor. Children stamp their feet and demand everything right now. You say you're not a child - okay, act like it. Hold out the three weeks and then leave when the law is on your side.
