∙ 12y agoUmm, im pretty sure in the state of Georgia that its legal to run away when your 17, I don't even think it'd be called running away, just moving out... unless you were kidnapped... but that's a different question
ok plz answer questions you KNOW.
IF in the state of Georgia the legal age is 18 for an adult. ONLY unless your parrents call u in as a run-away aka missing person you have a record. (i know from personal experience) now..if u happen to turn 18 while your still out and about then you ARE still in the system (not as missing person but as missing adult)till they find u (or u get pulled over and they run your name) but when they do find you, you are of legal age to where you will not get introuble and your record clears!
