Maybe. If she is living with a non custodial parent or other relatives then authorities will not intervene.

If she is living with non related persons, the parent can contact the state's department of children and family services for advice and/or assistance in having the minor returned to the family home. Please be advised, a minor whose whereabouts is known is considered an "absentee minor" not a runaway. Because of the differences in the minor status it is much more difficult to have an absentee minor returned to parental custody unless he or she is living in an unsuitable or unsafe environment. In some cases, parents can still be held legally and financially accountable for the minor unless they petition the court to be relieved of their parental obligations.
