Re: legal age
It is a difficult question to answer without knowing the particular circumstances.
There is no 'age' besides 18, when the child becomes an adult.
There are some circumstances, when a 17 is no longer considered a runaway or a missing person (when the authorities are notified of the child's location).
Any court orders concerning the child would still be enforceable. As are truancy laws.
