So i am 16 in the state of florida, my mom doesnt want me. And she won't let me move backk in with her, which is okay because she mentally and phisically abuses me. currently i am staying with a friend. due to the fact i got kicked out. my father who lives far from where i am now, refuses to listen to anything a say and is an alcoholic that changes drasticly when has cunsumed to many drinks. he will not allow me to stay with friends and finish my high school education at my current school, and i will not, can not live with either parent. What legal action can i take? what are my options? Can i get emancipated? should i run away, if i was found would i get in trouble? Is there a possibility that i can have custody of me given to my friends mom? please tell me what i can do?
