    Why yes, yes there is.

    The legal age of consent might be 17 - but this is NOT the same as the age of majority.

    YOU can end up in a world of hurt.

    No, legal age is 18. Whether or not the authorities will try to make a 17-year-old return home is a separate issue. You are free to inquire with the local constabulary about their polices for dealing with 17-year-old runaways, or what they will do if the parents pick their little princess up, toss her over their shoulder and carry her home.
