As long as your parents have legal custody of you, they have the authority to decide where you live until you reach the age of majority (usually 18, but in some states it's older--never younger). If you leave home without their permission, they can have your picked up by the authorities and returned home. Whoever takes you in when you runaway, could also potentially be facing charges. This relative could petition the court for custody, but generally speaking, unless they can prove the parents to be unfit in some way, it's rather unlikely that they would be successful. Of course, I don't know the details of your situation.

First of all, talk to a trusted adult.

Or, an adult could report them to Facebook through the link on Facebook's Privacy Policy page.
