You can leave home at 16 and live on your own! Get married etc etc I think theres a bit of a grey area between 16 and 18 but personally i really do not believe a 16 year old is a child.
You can't vote until you're 18; at 16 you're considered a young adult. As we all know there are many people who are still children at 28, 38, 48 and beyond.
