it depends on where you live. some states allow you to move out at 17. check your state laws. In most States you are under age, but if things are not that great at home (not just that your parents are setting down some good rules and you don't happen to like them) you can request by a court of law to go live with another relative. If you don't do this, persist on running away and the police keeps hauling you back then you are stuck where you are. Seems to me that your parents really care about you or they'd just let you go. The police usually don't enter into it unless you are sleeping on sidewalks, getting into trouble or soliciting. Usually it is the parent who is worried and files a complain after 24 hours of the missing person. Marcy
