Re: leaving your house at 17 and pregnant.
The child abuse statute in Florida is very vague. In layman's terms, it basically makes it a crime to do anything that would contribute to the delinquency of a minor. Technically, I suppose, he could be charged with child abuse, but I doubt that it's likely.
Since you're not yet 18, your parents can legally force you to return home.
