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.
