Sadly, I didn't get to talk to Katie this morning. I called at 6:30, and she didn't answer, so I tried again 5mins later. With no answer. I think she was probably in the shower or eating. Anyway, I emailed her today, so I should be getting a reply before I have to go to youth group. Unless she goes to the game. I hope she has a good time if she does.
I posted on the LiveWire forums about Katie emancipating herself. People seem to think it's a worthy cause, and not pointless. But unfortunately, it seems she has to be 16 to get emancipated. But I'm gonna email the Escambia County attorney and him some questions:
>How old do you have to be (at the minimum) to emancipate yourself in Fl.
>Can the emancipated child be adopted, or must the child simply move in w/ a new family?
>Are verbal abuse and not taking the child to a doctor for prescribed drugs enough for emancipating oneself, or possibly going to a foster family?
>Can the child choose the foster family?
>Can the foster family live in a different state?
>Or must the elligible family be in Florida?
>How long does the process of emancipation usually take, from start to finish?
>How strong must the evidence of verbal abuse and failure to care for the child properly be?
>Once emancipated, will the child have to attend public school?
>If child requests education, but unable to attend school since being emancipated, be "un-emancipated"?
>Will the "un-emancipated" child be forced to return to his legal guardian/parents?
>Or put up for adoption?
That's all I can think of right now, but I'll let you know what the attorney says.
