I am 16 years old, and turn 17 in July. My foster parents are unfit and neglect me horribly. CPS has been called multiple times, and a baby was removed from our home because my foster mom broke the babies arm. But, nothing has ever been done for me. The house is a mess and strange people sometimes stay for extended periods at my house. I am supposed to recieve social security checks because my father died every month, but I do not see a dime of it. I honestly don't know who has "custody" of me, and my foster mom tells me nothing. Now I know that I can get grants for college, I need to get out of this horrible environment.
I want to know if I can legally leave and move out when I turn 17. I have a stable home waiting for me. I just really need to know if I can legally leave and how to get my checks sent to me and not them.
Also, is there anyway I can legally leave before I am 17?
I just need to get out of here
