Point taken. I knew emancipation existed but had no idea the exact extent of it. It is good to know minors have legal choices available to them over the age of 16. I can only hope that not very many of them are forced to take such a drastic measure. I find the status of emancipated a little odd. They can enter contractual agreements and sue but not get health care without parental consent. I'm not sure being emancipated would be a whole lot better than staying in a foster home, but I suppose it's a good last resort.
