They sign over their parental rights to the escort service. My mom, who is crazy, thought I had a cocaine problem (I didn't) in high school. She convinced my dad, who lived states away, of this and people came to drag me out in the middle of the night. They asked if I wanted to do this the easy way or the hard way and I chose the later. Blah Blah Blah the police were called and what the escort service didn't know that as a 17 year old living is South Carolina I was legally an adult and they broke the law. Worst. Practice. Ever.

TL;DR They get around the legal issues by temporarily signing over their parental rights.

I saw this on another site and thought it might help explain why this kidnapping attempt failed.

Legal Rights of 17-Year-Olds in South Carolina

   1.
      Medical Consent
          *

            In South Carolina, a 17-year-old has the right to consent or deny treatments or tests on his own body. Parents cannot override these rights without going to court and proving the 17-year-old patient unfit to make his own medical decisions. These rights extend to consent after death, the 17-year-old has the right to refuse or consent to donating body parts, refusing resuscitation or performing diagnostics on the body.

A South Carolina policeman recently told my daughter (that was 16 at the time) that she had to follow my rules until she turned 17 then she could be out on her own. Approximately 3 weeks after she turned 17 she left home. The same police dept. told me there was nothing they could do about it but look for her and ask her to return home because they couldn't make her come because she was an adult at 17!

People can't exercise their rights if they don't know them. This young man lucked out in that he put up enough resistance that the police had to be called. Fortunately the Police did know the law and saved this young man from a potentially very traumatic and abusive experience.
