How can you runaway and not get caught if you are only 13 years of age?

Answer 1

• If you are sexually or physically abused then you can make a phone call in the United States to Child Aid and in Canada 'Child Welfare' (just phone the operator to direct your call. They will come to your parents home and discuss the matter with them; check out the living conditions; perhaps talk to the neighbors and if Child Aid feels you should be removed they will take the you and put you in Foster Care. If a 13 year old simply wants to run away because they are spoiled; do not feel they have to abide by the rules of their parent's home; not do their homework or their parents are not happy with some of the friends he/she hangs around with this is no reason to run away from home. If it turns out you simply don't like being told what to do and think the streets are a good place to live then think again! The streets are 'mean streets' just waiting for a young person like yourself as there are predators out there that are into pornography; prostitution and other unfavorable things that can happen to a young person. Two days and nights on the streets would have most young people coming from a good home running back to their home as fast as possible. If you leave your parents have the right to phone the police and look for you. If you are mature you would realize that your parents love you; want to keep you safe and give you rules to abide by so you are a healthy well adjusted young adult that is confident in life and they would be worried half to death if you ran away. If you are not treated poorly and continue to run away then the police have a record of you being a 'run away' and eventually the courts will decide what to do with you and you won't like it!
