But I faced NO imminent risk until well after I was emancipated.
You still needed parental consent to join the military. And If you don't think people get injured or killed in boot camp you dont know much about the military. Is it probable that you will end up dead in boot camp, no. BUT it is possible. Is it probable you will be injured in boot camp. Hell yes!
Correct, but giving consent is not the same thing as allowing someone to do something. For instance I could consent to allowing my child to drink at age 21 when he's 18, but that isn't illegal. Actually allowing him to drink at 18 would be illegal.
Same thing here, IF these parents would have told this girl at 14 say when you turn 16 you can become emancipated and sail solo around the world then there is no neglect. I was emancipated before I went to boot camp, this girl was NOT emancipated before she went on her cruise. It's apples and oranges.
Abby's parents consented for her to sail solo around the wold. Period . No laws broken. Please find the law that says you may not sail solo around the word.
Parental consent is allowing their child/young adult to do something. Emancipation has nothing to do with this. Emancipation is only an issue if she wanted to sail solo WITHOUT her parents consent.
Emancipation is about if you no longer want your parents involvement in your life decisions.
