Lets work together to change the state of Missouri regarding the legal age of our children.  Currently it is the age of 17 years.  These young adults are still in high school.  I believe we need it changed to the age of 21 unless they have graduated from high school.  Currently your child could move at 17 years, quite school and there is nothing parents can legally do.  But we as parents are responsible for them until the age of 18.  If we could change this law the police could bring your child home if they ran away and less children homeless.If we could change the state of Missouri legal age, the high school drop out rate would decrease. This would benefit all of our children in the future.
