Re: my daughter is 17 .

For criminal matters she is an adult.

For civil matters, she is a child until the moment she turns 18.

Will law enforcement make her come home?

I have no idea. You can always call them (police, sheriff and/or constable) and ask for the policy of their office. You might get 3 different answers!

Good luck!
