you sound out of control honestlyyou aren't getting what you want and you are acting outyou are telling tales hunthis will bite you in the butt later in lifeyou cannot be emancipated without being able to provide for yourselfall these agencies wouldn't be ignoring real need for help so the common denominator is your own bad behavioryour father may not be responding properly however no one believes he's endangering you whatsoever
Emancipation
I️ am 17 and like in bay county FL. I️ want to be emancipated but I️ can’t find any info on a time frame. My father is abusive physically and mentally DCF has been called in and multiple cases have been opened by teachers, friends, other family member and DCF has not helped me at all. About 6 weeks ago we got into a huge fight about my school how he was not providing for my needs and me wanting to see my mom.
**I️ am in 11th grade and have perfect grades and am duel enrolled at the local college** he was not filling out my school info for me to get into colleges and apply for financial aid.
Anyway... they fight got loud and neighbors came down and witnessed him on top of me chocking me out and called the cops. The cope showed up and I️ got baker acted. My father grew up with all the cops and sees them every morning at the local store. They didn’t wanna believe anything I️ said.
DCF was called and I️ was placed back in his household when I️ was released. He won’t allow me to get a job to pay for my own things I️ was working a little with my grandma just enough to pay for gas before but now I️ can’t do that. I️ have all the arrangements made, I️ already have jobs lined up, a place to life, and transportation to class. My grades are starting to fall Bc he’s not allowing me to go to tutoring and he won’t turn on the House WiFi for me to do my school work.
I️ have to get out of here soon, I️ feel myself slipping away and becoming a person I️ don’t want to be. I’m so afraid one day he’s gonna come back here and beat me till I️ can’t move. I️ hear foot steps down the hallways and my heart races and I️ can’t breathe. I️ don’t know how much longer I️ can take it.

having been baker acted means she was evaluated and then released into her father's care. the dcf office would have been given the results during their investigation. those results are the reason why they are not considering that she is truthful. the father to be as abusive and inept as she states wouldn't be able to hide that from dcf.

@erika what were the results of your examination? I’m almost positive that unless they found you unfit to take care of yourself that being baker acted cannot have a effect on your emancipation. Even if you were diagnosed with some sort of disorder, if you were deemed fit to care for yourself, it shouldn’t matter one way or another.

Is that a Florida law?
I know how bad it hurts to be abused and have no one believe you. I’m praying for you. I had to look at it as a countdown of the years until I could get out. Thank God things are better now, but back then I felt like things were unbearable. I don’t think you are just trying to get your way and I think it’s absolutely disrespectful and I sensitive to try and accuse you of things like that. You are heard love. ❤️
