    No. This is not a state law, it is a federal law. Her parents are responsible for her until the age if 18 years old. They are not, however responsible for her children. If her parents take off on her, they could be arrested for child abandonment if they leave her with no home or no means to take care of herself, again, excluding her children. 


    Now it does sound like she took off on the parents. That was her choice and she needs to own up to her choice. What she can do is settle down, get a job, make the father/s of her children pay their share in child support and try to make amends with her parents.
