If there is suspicion or evidence of abuse, the state can take a child out of a household immediately. Permanent denial of parental rights or custody would take much longer and be harder to achieve due to legal obstacles.

If a minor moves out in the state of California without the legal guardian's consent can the legal guardian get the family that the minor is staying with in legal trouble?
Depends. We don't know the age of the minor. We don't know if the family knew or had reason to know that the child was a minor or not. We don't know if the child was escaping from abuse or claiming abuse. Those could have mitigating factors as to how much trouble the family might be in. Under normal circumstances, if a family were harboring a minor who had run away, yes they could get in trouble. Further, if they took the child across a state line, then they could be charged with kidnapping under federal law, a very serious offense. If the child stopped by a friends home out of state (on his/her own) and let parents to believe that he had permission, then the parent might not be in too great trouble. However, they did have a duty to investigate or inform the family as to how the child was doing. This is not a legal opinion as only an attorney in the state where this was involved could properly give a legal opinion.
