Minors don't get charged for running away. They will be returned to their home and if they refuse to stay, may get put into the foster care system.

Where is christian persecution happening today?

First, we should define "Christian Persecution". What is happening in the United States, Canada, and Europe, where Christians do not get their way politically in every case, e.g. abortion is legal, divorce is legal, more people are leaving Christianity, etc. is NOT persecution. Persecution is when the lives or livelihoods of people are severely threatened or such people face legal hardships because they are Christians. There is persecution of Christians in North Korea, persecution specifically of Catholics in China, and persecution of Christians in general throughout the Islamic World, but especially in Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.P.S. It is not happening "worldwide".

How were the puritans persecuted?

The persecution of the puritans in England can be divided into two categories. Persecution that was established by law and extra-legal persecution. The legal persecution was instituted via a set of laws know as the Clarendon Codes. The extra-legal persecution was the garden variety violence which can be seen when a minority group is marginalized by the government and they loose legal protection. The extra-legal persecution involved murder, rape, robbery, and arson of homes. The legal persecution of the puritans by the Britons as codified by the Clarendon Codes involved a number of rules specific only to non-Anglicans. Puritans were ordered to only use Anglican prayer books, they were forbidden to gather in groups larger than 5 persons, they were forbidden to hold any public office or be employed by the government, and any known Puritan minister was forbidden to come within 5 miles of any town or settlement.This persecution was the impetus for a diaspora that spread Puritans to the continent, especially the Netherlands and ultimately to North America.
