Help With Moving Out

My world just completly sux. Friday night I went to princeton and told my dad i was at the movies. He went to and looked for my car but didnt see it so he called me and i had to go home. After MANY cross words, he back handed me and left a cut on my face and for the FIRST TIME EVER i fought back! and Last night we got into again and my mom slapped me across the face! dad dragged me to my room and beat the hell out of me with a wooden paddle. Then they said that if i wanted to call social sevices that they would dial the number because they havent done anything wrong. I have a big bruise on my butt and its like purple and black...and I wanted to kill myself. And any time i try to talk to them about it they just say its a sob story... Im hoping to be able to move out in april...but i'll only be 17. What can I do?

:wallbang:

Q: What can I do?

A: Get a job and support yourself 100%.

Okay, you've done the first part.

Now, are you supporting yourself 100%?

as much as i can. I pay for most of my stuff, i dont eat what they buy and Im working on buying a car

You are in a state with no emancipation statute.

Read this. Read this. If your questions aren't answered, come back with a follow-up.

so...your saying i have to put up with this crap for another year???

I am saying that your rights are defined by the laws of your state. I can't change the laws of your state.

Then what can I do?

About what?

(Aaron's cites answered your questions about emancipation; so what else do you want to know?)

If you are being physically abused, ask the cops if you can throw your parents in jail.

Also, call the child protection services and report the abuse.
