The legal age of majority for the state is 18. Such situations are handled in different ways by the authorities depending on the circumstances. When a minor is designated a runaway it means the person's whereabouts are unknown, when the report is filed, the police are required to look for the missing teen in the manner set out by the laws of the state or the police departments method of operation. States that participate in the AMBER Alert program are required to begin looking for the minor immediately. If an underaged person's whereabouts are known, they are designated an "absentee minor" and it generally requires the parents to file a motion with the court to obtain a requisition order and have the minor returned to their custody. The exception would be if the minor is in an unsafe or potentially dangerous environment, in which case authorities can take the minor in custody and place them in a juvenile hearing until a custodial hearing takes place.

If you run away in Massachusetts at 17 can they force you home?
Massachusetts has a conflicting law when it comes to a 17 year old leaving the family home. The law states that a 17 year old cannot leave home, a parent cannot force a 17 year old to leave their home nor can a parent give permission to a 17 year old to live elsewhere. The 17 year old may runaway from home but the police will not force the child to go home yet the parents are still financially, medically and legally responsible for the child. The child can choose to enter the parents home and leave again if they wish and the parent can do nothing more than report child as a runaway.
