If I don't go back to california my step mom says she will file a missing report even though she knows where I am and has all the information. I will be 18 in 2 months.
You are still a minor and the responsibility of your custodial parents or whomever has legal guardianship of you. You can file for emancipation from your parents, but I doubt you have enough time to get anything done before she takes action or should take action. You should go home and tough it out for 2 months and then return. Otherwise you could possibly talk with a Probate attorney regarding other options that may assist you. Good luck and make sure to take your prenatal vitamins if you are pregnant and planning on having a baby.
