You shouldn't run away in the first place, and yes it is kind of illegal.
No, if the 17 year old isn't where their parents expect them to be, they are a runaway.
It's still harboring a runaway or could be kidnapping. The 19yo would end up with serious legal consequences.
no of course not -.-
Yes.
Yes
If you live in the US... No, because at 17 they are still a minor and therefore still a runaway.
Report them as a runaway and ask the police to return him home.
YES
In many jurisdictions, a seventeen year old can be considered a runaway. However, the way this situation is handled by law enforcement or child protective services can vary depending on local laws and policies. It's best to consult with local authorities for specific information on how runaway cases involving minors are addressed in your area.
As long as she is 17 it is legal.
If you can provide for them, I think so.
In Missouri, the legal age of majority is 18. A seventeen year old can only move out with parental consent or through legal emancipation. Without proper documentation, the parents of the minor could report her as a runaway.
