Best Answer

When a 16 year old in CA runs away he/she will be taken into temporary custody, a check on them run to see if they have broken any laws, taken into the juvenile justice system, and turned over to parents, guardians, custodians, or the court. If it is habitual they may be held or placed by the state.

California law does say the same thing, just a little bit differently.

"It is not a crime for a juvenile to run away from home in California."

See the related Amicus Curiae link listed below, regarding the California Welfare and Institutions Code, particularly Sections 601, 601.5, 625, and 625.1.
