Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

I have heard that because I am over the age of 16 but still under the legal age of 18 (I am 17) and as a citizen of the state of Maryland and the United States, I am legally allowed to leave my parents home without their permission. Is this true? I have been told that the legal process of emancipation gives me this right.

Not in Maryland. You are a minor until age 18.
