Report it to the police and you wont get in trouble, here is the law- From Texas statutes:
Sec. 25.06. HARBORING RUNAWAY CHILD. (a) A person commits an offense if he knowingly harbors a child and he is criminally negligent about whether the child:
~ ~ (1) is younger than 18 years; and
~ ~ (2) has escaped from the custody of a peace officer, a probation officer, the Texas Youth Council, or a detention facility for children, or is voluntarily absent from the child's home without the consent of the child's parent or guardian for a substantial length of time or without the intent to return.
~ (b) [amended 9/1/95] It is a defense to prosecution under this section that the actor was related to the child within the second degree by consanguinity or affinity, as determined under Chapter 573, Government Code.
~ (c) It is a defense to prosecution under this section that the actor notified:
~ ~ (1) the person or agency from which the child escaped or a law enforcement agency of the presence of the child within 24 hours after discovering that the child had escaped from custody; or
~ ~ (2) a law enforcement agency or a person at the child's home of the presence of the child within 24 hours after discovering that the child was voluntarily absent from home without the consent of the child's parent or guardian. ~ (d) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.
~ (e) On the receipt of a report from a peace officer, probation officer, the Texas Youth Council, a foster home, or a detention facility for children that a child has escaped its custody or upon receipt of a report from a parent, guardian, conservator, or legal custodian that a child is missing, a law enforcement agency shall immediately enter a record of the child into the National Crime Information Center.
No, in Fort Worth, TX, a child who runs away from home is not automatically considered emancipated under the law. Emancipation is a legal process that must be granted by a court. Running away does not grant a minor legal independence from their parents or guardians.
oh yes only if the father is going to help talk are of the baby but yes * A 16-year-old is a minor. Therefore, they cannot leave home without parental consent unless they have been emancipated. Giving birth does not emancipate a minor.
The law in Texas has set the age of 14 at which a child can make a choice the court is required to abide by, and even than there are some limitations.
No, you can't. Being pregnant does not emancipate a minor. If you leave home, your parents can file a police report and have you picked up and returned home. If Boyfriend takes you in/assist you, then he could be facing charges for doing so (possibly harboring a runaway/custodial inference/enticing a child). By the way, the age of sexual consent in TX is 17, so Boyfriend might be facing charging for that as well.
Yes, under a rebuttable presumptionsee links
The child doesn't get to choose, but in TX at the age of 12 the judge will consider the child's preference of which *parent* to live with. The judge considers many other things too, and the judge is not required to abide by the child's wishes.
depends on if you are going to follow the law or not?
