16 i think i'm not sure maybe you should go ask a police station
No. Your parents pick it saying ''I want my child to go to bed at this time.
You are the child's mother, you should go to the police and report that your child has been abducted.
go to court for sure the police wont do anything.
You can have a police escort you to his house to pick up your things. Even if some of the stuff are gifts from him, the are your belongs and you entitled to them. Go to your local police station, and they will be able to help you get an escort.
Yes, parents have the legal authority to involve the police if they are concerned about the safety or whereabouts of their 16-year-old child. It is important for parents and authorities to ensure the well-being of minors, especially in situations where they may be at risk.
Yes.
If you live in the US and assuming you want the child to return home, call the police. The relative has no legal right to keep your child from you, (no matter what the child wants) and can very possibly face criminal charges for it (harboring a runaway, custodial interference, etc).
If you are a child, seek the help of a known adult you can trust or go to the police.
Yes, in Texas, police officers have the authority to return a runaway minor to their parents or legal guardians if they are found. The fact that the parents know the whereabouts of the child does not change the officer's duty to ensure the minor's safety and well-being by returning them home.
Police investigate safety and criminal acts, but not usually civil problems. An example (depending on the laws in that state): If a dad doesn't return a child after the weekend, but there is no custody agreement, the police can go and check that the child is okay. However, they usually can't just go take the child. There usually would not be an investigation. It is a civil issue that would need to go to family court. However, if there is an existing court order, and the mom is able to show it to the officer, that means the dad is breaking the law. He is interfering with child custody. It is then a police issue, and they would be able to get involved.
Police don't cross state lines. However, the police in the other state can pick you up and transport you to officer from the other state.
