Yes, unless the child has filed for and been granted legal emancipation. All states have reciprocal agreements regarding child custody and all the custodial parent has to do is file an order of extradition in the court of jurisdiction. If the order is granted, it is forwarded to law enforcement in the state or county where the child is currently residing and the child is returned home.
The child should be aware that if this happens often enough, the state's division of children and family services may request the child be deemed a chronic runaway. And if that happens, the child will be remanded to the custody of the state, living either in an agency or in foster care, until they reach the age of majority in the state where they reside (18 to 21, depending).
It is much much better for the child to write to the judge with jurisdiction over the custody order, or engaging an attorney or guardian ad litem to petition the court, stating their preferences and requesting a meeting with the judge to discuss them. While the judge is not legally bound to honor such a request (other than in Texas where they are legally required to do so if the child is age 12 or older), oftentimes, a judge will consider a child's preference and may order a change or modification in custody based on their wishes.
Ultimately, however, the judge will rule in what he or she feels is in the best interests of the child, even though those rulings may be at odd with what the child feels.
