Jenn - any idea what the MN laws say about someone under 16 years of age? Is there a Children's Aid of some kind that can go to bat for her legally, especially with a doctor's backup?

I've looked and it says it comes down to the parents... unless they are being endangered by the home, which I don't think would be the case, and that would just hurt everyone involved if that was said. I was hoping that she could fight for her own emanicipation, but MN doesn't give much rights to minors.

Unless she gets married, lol. I think that was the one breaking point. Ooops, just checked, even at 16 they need parental consent for that. Wonder what AZ law is like... that would be another way to go... move to AZ, and see what their laws are, and if you can get emancipated there w/out the parents' consent at 16, and then move back! Let me check on AZ laws,lol.

I love being a research librarian!
