My question involves juvenile law in the State of: West Virginia
I'm 15 years old and I would like to be emancipated from my parents. My moms boyfriend is emotionally and psychologically abusive towards me, and has been for years. Its gotten to the point where he takes my phone during random times and goes through it, as well as puts a time limit on the wifi to control me. Now the wifi and phone thing isnt the reason why i would like to get emancipated. The reasoning is, he calls me names and threatens me, and my mother doesnt stop it. It has gotten alot worse since I have been with my girlfriend, and sometimes he even says stuff about her.
A few months ago, I ran away.. I ran away because as soon as i got home from school he started screaming at me. Calling me a fag, saying hes going to cut my hair off, etc. So i ran. It was winter, and very cold, but I walked and was gone for 24 hours. My mother didnt even call the police, my girls grandmother did. I will be getting a job pretty soon, and a permit in a couple months. I do know how to take care of myself. I mean i have been for years, just under my parents roof. I have been offered a place to stay, if emancipation is granted, or even if I get kicked out.
My moms boyfriend has told me so many times to get out of his house, but then turns around and says if i leave he'll call the cops, or he will have his "buddies" go after me. I am afraid of him. And my mom doesnt protect me from him like she used too. Im watching my two sisters under the age of 2 all the time, all day most of the time when my moms boyfriend decides to leave for hours at a time while my moms at work. I have to wash dishes and clean the house.. and if I dont I will get screamed at and called names. I would really like to get out and support my self on my own terms, and not be worried about getting screamed at if I make a small mistake. What is the chance of being granted emancipation, and will it take long? As well as would I be able to stay with my girlfriends family until then?
