Emancipado

Emancipado means that someone who is under the age of 18 is legally recognized as an adult. This means they can make their own decisions about important things like where they live, what they do for work, and who they spend time with. Normally, people have to wait until they are 18 to be considered an adult, but if someone is emancipated, they can be recognized as an adult before they reach that age. It's kind of like getting a special permission slip from the government. But just because someone is emancipated doesn't mean they have to suddenly take care of themselves all alone. They can still have supportive adults in their life, like parents or guardians, but they get to have more control over their own lives.
