Yes, in California, parents are legally responsible for providing financial support for their minor children until they reach the age of 18 or are legally emancipated. This responsibility includes providing for their basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing, regardless of whether the child is living at home or has run away.
He is not a runaway at 18, he is legally an adult.
A minor cannot runaway legally to a relative in another state and there not be any legal repurcussions from it. The parent/custodian has a "duty of care" that the law says they are responsible for that minors health, care and well being. Unless the minor has been emancipated then they can do whatever they want like an 18 year old + adult can do
no of course not -.-
Yes.
If the 17yo is a runaway, yes. It's illegal to help a runaway from home.
No, they would be considered a runaway. see links
It is illegal for anyone one to run away in any state if you are not 18.Your parent can call the police and have you reported as a runaway and get you arrested and you can possibly be put in a home or placement.
Yes, but law enforcement may not do much if the runaway is near the age of eighteen.
The custodial parent.
In California, harboring a runaway teen is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 or up to one year in county jail. Penalties may vary depending on the circumstances of the case.
No, the parents are no longer responsible for them. They are an adult and responsible for themselves.
