This is a touchy subject that you have to be careful with. If you shelter the teen, you can be charged with harboring a runaway minor.

If the teenager is just a normal teen, stretching boundaries, you need to return them to their parents. But if you suspect a larger issue (abuse that led to running), call Child Protection Services, Children's Aid Society, or Family and Children's Services. Tell them what happened, and if it is night, offer that the teen can stay with you. If you know the family is already involved with CAS, tell them that. They will decide what you should do, taking legal culpability off your head. If they do not agree, you must return the teen to the parents.

The age when a teen can leave without permission differs. In Canada and the US, an 18 can go where they please. In many places, 16 year old's can, and in some places or certain circumstances, 14 year old's may leave their parent's without permission.
