Runaway children ( who hasn:t at least attempted it) are a sad but seemingly uniquely American ( c oming of age) Fling- and fall under the category of juvenile delinquency or more accurately status offences. It is not a crime for an adult to move, relocate, etc, but if a kid does it it is a status offense like underage motoring ( often very risky) or closer to the point, Truancy- (Hooky playilng) which is not an adult crime. it falls under the heading of a status offense.
The police can bring the child back to his father since the court order says it is his weekend. The mother also have a responsibility to make sure the child is brought back and can not break the court order.

Dill runs away because his new father and mother are not paying enough attention to him.
yes but only if they agree to
If a child runs away and is caught in Utah, they could be placed in juvenile housing. Most of the time, the child is released back to the parents custody unless the parents do not want the child.
I've seen it happen frequently to fathers. The mother runs off. He hopes she'll come back, so he doesn't even file for child support. She comes back, he lets her see the children. While in possession of them, she files against him.
Money should not be your concern right now. Finding the child should be the most important thing right now.
Dial 911 and report a missing child.
Is the intent to avoid paying child support in states where it runs past age 18?
the adult who took the child to the park and left them.
