okay... here are the three steps of running away from an abusive home: 1. secretly pack clothes, food, and A LOT of water. 2. dial 9-1-1. 3. get police, and tell them the story. 4. VITAL PART- ask for a good foster home that doesn't have too many kids. that is how you make it out of an abusive home. The police thing might not be good, but you YOU DON'T want to go to an orphanage. people rarely go there. YOU DO NOT WANT to be a hobo either..... unless you really want to be one.
Bring you home.
Yes. This can be considered kidnapping or custody interference. If a runaway child knocks on your door allow him to come in and feed him/her, but call the police immediately. Do not take the child back home-- it may be abusive.
Go home or call the police so they can take you home. Anyone who helps you knowing you are a runaway can get charged with aiding a runaway. If you are abused tell the police and the CPS can help you.
The parents can request the police to return the runaway to their home.
Honestly, police officer boyfriends and husbands are not abusive. They are out in the streets fighting crime all day, so when they get home they are tired.
Yes, the police will assist you parents in finding you. You will be listed as a runaway. If they find you they will return you home.
Maybe not a police officer but the Childrens Services may.
Report them as a runaway and ask the police to return him home.
Interesting question...your question assumes that the runaway is from an abusive home. Please first investigate this carefully. I am the mother of a Bipolar daughter who is a habitual runaway and will tell any kind of lie to stay out on her own. I know many kids come from abusive backgrounds, but many are also mentally ill and have families that love them. Please consider this for your situation. God Bless!
if they have you in custody, yes they can
Yes, in California, parents have the legal authority to make their runaway child come home. They can involve the police to help locate and return the child, and the police will assist in the process due to the child's status as a minor.
In the state of Minnesota, a child is considered to be a runaway if they are under age 18 and do not have their parents or guardians permission to leave the home. The parents can call the police and the police may issue the runaway a citation to appear in court.
