Redbean, do you think minors should have the right to emancipate themselves from their parents in certain cases?

In some cases, yes.

In the case of being grounded for an abnormally high cell phone bill and wanting to go run off with another adult who is less restricive....no.

It sounds like you're still fuzzy on what it means to be a moral agent, then. If the girl really is a moral agent, the inclusion of a "pedo" shouldn't have anything to do with whether force would be justified. The girl should be free to leave and the father would be wrong to try and force her to stay. In common understanding, it's like asking if the father would be justified in using force to keep a 40 year old from helping his 25 year old daughter leave the house.
