Well, people that have moved out at 17 told me, and the police told me that you can move out at 17. I dont see what is to be misunderstood by "You can move out of your parents when you turn 17"

Exactly Mo. so tell her to move out and when her parents report her as a run away and Police drag her back (per parents request) comeback. Oh and while I am at it set up bail money for whoever allows her to stay with them knowing she is a run away. Not to mention sexual asualt charges if that occurs and felony charges on the adults who allow it. So since you know it all go right ahead you no longer need us:rolleyes:

im glad that when i tell you what the police tell me you dont bother to cite sources or anything. All you say is well whatever. Im sorry if the police who know the law in my area disagree with what some random person who hasnt even given any evidence for anything they have said the entire time, and i trust the police more. I apologize for letting you know what the law has told me here, i only had hoped that maybe someone who knew something would be able to help me here, i see that that is not the case now.

cite law its simple age of majority is 18 unless married or in armed forces you live under parental rule. This is not first time someone has said Police have said this. Police don't like chasing after 17 year old runaways and unless parents push it they wont in some areas. However I can assure you that you cannot leave without parental consent until 18! but since you know it all then tell her to leave, leave here and comeback when you or her or some adult needs legal advice for her actions

How about this - ask the police officers that tell you otherwise, to cite the law. Please post back with their response. -

Iowa may be one of the two or three states that has no law permitting the police to forcibly remove a runaway 17 year old from one place and take them home ... that is NOT the same as saying she can legally move out. There could be a number of issues involved with her leaving - not the least of which might be that she could become unemployable.
Additionally, anyone who assists her in being out of the control of her mother could face criminal charges for assisting a runaway or contributing to the delinquency o fa child. All because the police might not be able to force her home because of some odd loophole, this does not mean that people assisting her can't go to jail or juvenile hall.
