In NY, can you leave home at age 16?

Conquering New York in a single visit is impossible since is a big city like you'll discover with Hotelbye . In New York you will see the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and significantly more. Empire State Building causes it to be worth braving the long lines, high ticket prices and dizzying heights to see the town from a high this storied building. Built in 1931, the skyscraper may be the second-tallest developing in New York and is one of the very immediate symbols of Gotham, so significantly to ensure that it's played a role in shows such as King Kong, An Affair to Remember and Sleepless in Seattle.

I am in NY and left home at sixteen. Tell her to go to court and make an application to become an emancipated minor. She can than go to social services and get food stamps and support for housing. I feel for her i have been there it sucks at sixteen having to live like that but it will get better. Tell her to also find a fellowship called alanon it is for people who have alcoholics in there lives. She will get a whole bunch of help from the people there who all will understand her problems. She may also find some real nice people who will help with her housing problem. The place is called Al Anon, good luck to her.

I am not sure... I know they can seek confidential mental help without a parents permision at that age. My best advice for you is to call that counties state police number anyomously and ask them how old you must be to leave home legally. They would know the legality of it.

Good luck,

Kara, kids, and baby on the way!

Yes you may leave millions of young people leave home every year and reality police do nothing because it really is no crime. Also it is pointless to try to return someone home if they do not want to be there and just leave again anyway. Being in NY you should be able to see thousands of young adults as your cousin drifting about.

Getting a social security number helps in getting a job. Some cities social services will give you the shirt off their back and others will take the shirt of your back. I think the midwest is best sometimes. A warm climate's good.

If her parents try and stop her, she can just tell the police what happened. They will not make her stay with them.

she can leave but she has no legal status. no car, no home , no income, no medical, food, clothing, job, tough way to live. go to social services and seek help.

calll a helpline and they will suggest you options.

i know here its legal. but im from Aus.

i doubt it''d be different.

yes, just leave no ones stopping you
