Depending on the age it is not really a parent issue, in New York after 90 days the parents can be arrested until the child is found alive or proof of life is given to police. * The parents are responsible for filing an absentee minor report with the police department that has jurisdiction and to cooperate with authorities in whatever capacity is required. Neither parents or any other person can be arrested simply because a person minor or adult is missing. Before anyone can be arrested there must be proof that a crime has been committed, and said person had particpated in or had knowledge of the criminal act in question.
