Authorities believe the girl left on her own. Neal reportedly left a message with staff thanking them for their help and letting them know she was “going her own way” with her daughter, police said in a release.

I wish authorities had a better picture. Going by that one alone, the girl could be sitting right next to me on the subway and I wouldn't recognize her.

Surely there is no way a 5 month old is only 8.8lbs, right?

My now 2 year old weighed around that much IIRC. She was born early and is still pretty tiny at 2.

It appears she went missing back in 8/2021 with her son at that time

I can't imagine the things this poor girl has been through. I hope she is able to find a safe, stable place to grow and heal.

I thought one was emancipated when you became a parent. I guess not.

I thought one was emancipated when you became a parent. I guess not.

In PA it's apparently up to the courts, on a case-by-case basis.

Emancipation Laws: 50-State Survey

Many states provide statutory procedures to petition a court for the emancipation of a minor so that they legally become an adult before the age of majority.

www.justia.com

Pennsylvania Emancipation Law

• Age of majority: 18
• Emancipation statute: None
• Minimum age under statute: N/A

Pennsylvania does not have a specific statute providing an emancipation procedure. As a branch of the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas explains, any finding of emancipation is based on the specific facts of a situation. A hearing must be held for a court to determine whether a finding of emancipation is appropriate, but this hearing is usually part of another proceeding already before the court involving the minor and their parents.
