Who legally responsibility for child at 16 that leaves home?

Parents are typically legally responsible for a child until they reach the age of majority, which is usually 18. If a 16-year-old leaves home without parental consent, the parents may still be held responsible for the child's well-being unless the child has been emancipated or a court has terminated parental rights. It is important for parents to report the situation to local authorities to ensure the child's safety and well-being.
