"...between the age of mandatory school attendance and the age of majority. One is the age at which you can legally drop out of school. The other is the age at which you can run away from "home" wherever that may be at the time and not have the law after you. It is possible that you may be able to drop out of school at 16, but wait until 17 to move out."

Once again, I will say "do your homework before posting."

Georgia Code

This is a summary of laws dealing with the age to be considered an adult in your state. It is not intended to be all inclusive, but does contain basic and other information. You may check for updates using the state code or bills. If you are a minor and need to your minority removed, search for the word minority under your state. Forms with US- at the beginning of the control number are sample forms for all states.

(a) The age of legal majority in this state is 18 years; until that age all persons are minors.
(b) Nothing in this Code section shall be construed automatically to render an individual a resident of this state when that individual is in the state for the purpose of attending school. In the case of such individual, his residence will be considered to be the state in which his parents reside if under the laws of that state the individual would still be considered a minor and he is incapable of proving his emancipation. §39-1-1

What do I have to debunk next?  Like I said, HLA's manual is FULL OF LIES and they can't even get the data correct regarding the laws of the state in which they operate.  

Clearly, the age of majority is 18, although that has NOTHING to do with dropping out of school.  

AND the laws of the "student's" (inmate's) HOME state apply, not the laws of the institution's home state.

If a child runs off campus, what would you suggest would be the best policy? Let them walk and then call the parents? Let them walk and then call the law? What if they are 14 or 15. What would you suggest the safest way to handle that situation would be? As a parent, I would want to be notified immediately, and the law notified immediately as well to try to find my child.This is clearly not just a "dropping out of school" issue if they live on the campus of a boarding school. I would like some opinion on this subject as to the best scenario for this sort of situation.

SHH:
Didn't you claim to write those policies and procedures and parent's manuals Dysfunction in a previous post??? LOL so what you are saying if you are claiming the manual is full of lies is you wrote an erroneous manual. Hmmmmm.....so either A: you didn't write the manual B:It is not full of lies or C: they rewrote every manual you produced after you left ?
Just wondering.

So, I guess the question would be- is HLA a 'school' or a lock-down treatment facility?
