You're talking serious stuff. Kidnapping is a v-e-r-y serious offense whether you're a juvenile or an adult. You will not get a slap on the wrist for it. At the very least you're looking at some serious time in a juvenile facility and if they try you as an adult, possibly time in the state penitientiary.

Can you have a 17-year-old runaway move into your home in Wisconsin?
Generally an adult who harbors a "runaway" or absentee minor without notifying the minor's parents, guardian and/or authorities is committing a criminal offense, and can face both criminal and civil penalties in accordance with the laws of the state. However, Wisconsin law defines what constitutes emancipation of a minor in several ways, therefore, it is not likely criminal charges would be valid. The parents or guardian of said minor could have grounds for civil litigation if they chose to take such action.
If you runaway at age sixteen can the police bring you back?
Yes, if you are under the age of 18, the police have the authority to bring you back if you run away, as you are considered a minor and are legally under the care and responsibility of your parents or guardians. However, the police will usually try to return you home safely rather than treat you as a criminal.
