    Unhappy Need Help With Possible Emancipation In Missouri

    Hi!
    To make a VERY long story short here I go......My old Neighbors who are drug addict, alcoholics have a daughter who is 11, 12 shortly. We have ALWAYS been there for Shelby and have her every weekend, while her parents party at their home with others! Shelby has been taken away from her family when she was 6 and was reconnected with her parents a year later.
    The living situation is horrible as now they have, what Shelby calls a HOBO living in their basement. He just got out of prison and is one of her dads friends!
    Shelby wants so badly to come live with us and we too want her here! I told her I would try my hardest but am lost on where to start and what I can legally do!
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Citykitti13

    Unless her parent's agree to it, you are not going to get custody of her.

    Child abuse and neglect cases need to be reported to CPS (Child Protection Services).

    Also, a change of custody is NOT emancipation.
