Dayton, OH asked in Child Custody for Ohio

Q: Im im an abusive home, have no family in the same state as I do, and my father is charging me with assault for defending

Myself. My friends family and I have decided to call CPS. Im 17 this Sunday, and there's no foster care anywhere near where I live. Im scared that I may have to move super far away from my SO of 5+ years, and my one best friend. I have super bad separation anxiety when Im not with one of them. If they are okay with it, can i live with them? If they cant, can I try to get emancipated? I know Ohio has bullcrap laws when it comes to this...

A: CPS will find a solution. Ohio does not have emancipation for your situation.
