what i have heard is that when u run away that the cops will be notified and so will your parents when they find you and u can get arrested and detained for how ever long and, depending on what your parents want, you can be put on probation and on an ankle monitor and fined
pretty rediculus right?
Not always. Here in Arizona, I was informed that the police department won't even look for a runaway teen unless they feel they are in danger. It is not a criminal offence to run away in Arizona. Unless they happen to stumble across the victim nothing is done. Even then they don't even have to return them to their parents or guardians or even notify you that they have been found. Unless of course they commit some sort of criminal act or misdemeanor. Then they will be sure to notify you.
I called the local law enforcement agency, and told them where my daughter was going to be at a certain time, and the response was well go there then , and if she's there we'll respond, as that's our busy time of day. In other words, nothing.
I didn't want to go there, in case she ran again. And I thought the police was the proper agency to contact. Child Protective Services might be a better bet. But I don't know if they will do anything either. It is legal to run away in Arizona as long as you don't do anything illegal.
This is untrue! I have a 15 year old daughter residing in Arizona she ran away from home. I notified the police even before the 24hrs and they went right to work. I then called after 24 hrs, and placed her on the missing children data base immediately. We had 3 counties looking for her. The sheriff passed out pictures, contacted her friends and within three days they found her 40 miles away from home. They helped us bring her to the hospital where we had her admitted for help. The law works if you follow the right channels. Tips: go to the sheriff's, don't call. Bring a recent picture. bring a list of friends or places the child might be. keep in contact at all times during the investigation. If anyone is in this situation my heart goes out to you!
