I have a place to stay for a few days. I just need a break for that time, but my mom won't let me. We got in a yelling match and she slapped me.

I'm sorry that things are not going well, but until you are 18 you have to stay where she says. If there are problems perhaps speak with your counselor at school. Once you are 18 you will be able to move out.
Would I get charged as a minor or and adult or not at all for a crime that I did around 12-13 years of age, now that ima 17 years, and they reported me at 18 with no evidence, only oral statements?

She lives with her mother, I just want to know what her mother’s options are at this point because law enforcement says since this girl is 16, actually has the mentality of a 12 year old there is nothing they can do to make her come home.

Unless you have a guardianship of the child it would be up to her parents to take action. I would say calling the police would be the best place to start. The parents should also consult with a family law attorney asap to explain the situation in full detail and that attorney can then explain any... View More

Until you are 18 your mother makes the rules. You only get one mother so you should show her the ultimate level of respect.

If you are in danger then you should contact the police. If it’s not immediate danger you may want to speak with your guidance counselor at school. You can also reach out to child protective services.

Go to Court and act respectful. Have cash available to pay costs, fines, that day. It might get Diverted or Dismissed. Traffic School might be an option. Upon Conviction, points will go on your MVR.

That is an unfortunate situation for you, but running away is not a good plan. Talk to a school counselor, teacher, or other trusted adult.
No additional information.

No, you are still considered a minor by law. You can jump out into the world and all of its accompanying responsibilities as an adult once you are 18. Until then, you could consult with a family law attorney to discuss emancipation, but that process would likely take you through your 18th... View More

Typically a temporary guardianship can be revocable at anytime by a biological parent. If you would like to retain custody, you should speak with a lawyer to discuss other options available to you in Juvenile or Superior court.
