I have a 17 year old daughter whom the police and other agencies have told me is legally an adult, but yet I am responsible for her if something were to happen. She is a "stay away" and not considered a runaway as we know where she is. She is couch surfing between friends and a boyfriend. I've been told that there is legally nothing I can do. I have filed a PINS petition, but the court is telling me this could take months before it is even heard.
