    Can You Get Emancipated by Claiming Emotional Abuse
    My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: oklahoma

    I would like some help involving getting emancipated. I am 15, and, my mom doesn't physically abuse me. However she does emotionally. My dad sexually molested my sister in her earlier years. She is now 21, pregnant, and probably moving in with her boyfriend when he gets a house. My brother thinks he could have possibly been molested as well. I do not have a job as of now, but only because my parents will not let me. We go to a church where we do not doctor. No shots. Not even tylonal. I don't know if I could use that to my advantage or not. I do not wish to turn them in for molestation. I talked it over with my sister and she doesn't want to either. Unless of course we have no other choice. It goes against our beliefs. I understand you have to be 16 to get emancipated, but do I have a chance when I do? I go to school and get good grades, and my sister would like for me to move in with them. We would like to get my little brother as well, but not sure how to go about it yet. Please, no negativity. This is a serious matter. I would like some tips on what to do, and if it is even possible.

    No state will emancipate a minor because they're being abused.

    If you are being abused, you need to contact CPS/DHR/DHS/DFCS or whatever Oklahoma calls their agency. Conversely, you may also discuss the situation with a teacher/counselor at your school. Usually, they are mandated reporters, and if abuse is going on, they will be the ones making the call.

    Ok, thank you. What would be a reason they would allow you to become emancipated? Preferably without parent permission.

    Oklahoma's emancipation statute is not going to help you; it is very limited in scope and does nothing but allow you to enter into legally binding contracts.

    Sorry, but it's not going to do what you want it to do.

    And parental permission is a must in just about every state.
