yes you can be because you are not 18 and 17 is still consider as a minor
No you can not until you are 18 and then you can move out.
No, if the 17 year old isn't where their parents expect them to be, they are a runaway.
Typically, charges for harboring a runaway require proof that the individual was indeed a runaway. If the person was never reported as a runaway to the authorities or officially filed as one, then it would be difficult for law enforcement to press charges of harboring a runaway. However, legal nuances can vary by jurisdiction, so it's best to consult with a lawyer for specific advice.
no of course not -.-
Call the police and report them as a runaway.
If you live in the US... No, because at 17 they are still a minor and therefore still a runaway.
Yes.
Technically, you cannot be charged with harboring a runaway if the person has not been classifed as a runaway. However, if the person is found in your possession and they have no reason to be with you, then the police have every reason to question you.
No.
In many jurisdictions, a seventeen year old can be considered a runaway. However, the way this situation is handled by law enforcement or child protective services can vary depending on local laws and policies. It's best to consult with local authorities for specific information on how runaway cases involving minors are addressed in your area.
The parents can report him as missing or as a runaway and then it depends on what the police finds. If they find no suspicion of him to be a runaway he will be called as missing and the other way around. Until he is 18 he is not allowed to move out without parental permission.
Yes, but law enforcement may not do much if the runaway is near the age of eighteen.
