Q: What legal age can a child in Louisiana move out from home without parents permission
My daughter and step son keep saying they are leaving home to live on their own and they are only 16
A: Tell them no problem: you will call DCFS and have them picked up as runaways and put in either Florida Parishes or Foster Care. Then pick up drug tests at CVS or Walgreens and test both of them. Next, get them both into counseling. Lastly, notify the school counselor that they are both oppositional. Do NOT use any corporal punishment. But turn off their phones, take down their social media accounts, turn off any online gaming accounts.
