    Default Am I Allowed To Leave Massachusetts At Age 17

    I am turning 17 years of age on march 21, i am a female, I have been in foster care most of my life, currently I am living with my aunt (who recently got custody of me) that goes out every night and drinks and parties. She recently brought a group of drunk people over the house (adult men) that I did not know, I was scared they might do somthing to me. So I snuck out the window, and called my uncle. My aunt said she would agree to stop going out and partying but yet she is still doin it. I have a family I used to live with in Ct but their son and I started dating. The right thing to do was not for us to live together so I had to move. But now he is moving out and she agreed that I can come back. Is their any laws binding me to Massachusetts?

    You are a minor until you reach the age of 18. It also appears you are a ward of the state.

    Leaving without permission is called running away.
