An 18 year old is a legal adult and has he right to move out of their parent's house. There is no legal action that can be taken to keep the child at home that would not cause lasting damage to the child's record. It is not recommended to take such action unless there is a valid reason. When a child leaves home they have the right to take their own belongings.
