Ok, I cant get a definitive answer on whether a 16 year old can leave home without needing parental consent by law. I think they can, but my friend says no. Who's right here?
 
Nope wrong. I left home at 16 and the police dragged me home, apparently by law 17 is the age in scotland. Granted that was a long time ago ;)

Yea, just made things worse though.

Ok, well this case involves a heck of a lot of abuse (including physical) that I'm concerned enough to be discussing this. The phrase honour killing comes to mind also.

If that's the case then i'm sure there are a multitude of people and organisations he can talk to. I'm sure someone can post some links or phone numbers.
