I believe Mass has a little-known rule called emancipation....which typically means at around 15 or 16...you file paperwork with the local judge and demand your adult freedom....from all guardians (parents and otherwise).

I'm thinking they behaved impulsively, hysterically, and now they're hiding as hard as they can. I smell a panicked conspiracy. It'll have to break soon. They don't want to lose their "phony baloney" jobs or their power.
