Can a principal be charged with kidnapping if they took a child under 18 across the state line without parental permission in Mississippi?
Yes, a principal can potentially be charged with kidnapping if they take a child under 18 across state lines without parental permission in Mississippi. Kidnapping laws typically involve the unlawful taking or transportation of a minor, and crossing state lines adds a federal element that could lead to more serious charges.

If you move out and you're under 18 and you move in with a person that is over 18 will that person get in trouble for kidnapping even if you went willingly?
It's certainly possible. Rather or not it would actually happen depends on the laws of your specific state. I have heard of cases (although not a lot, and they were usually cases where the 'runaway' was *very* young) where it has happened. However, even if the person cannot be charged with kidnapping, there are still many other possible charges. What those charges might be (again) depends on the laws of your state. But some possibilities are: contributing to the delinquency of a minor, harboring a runaway, custodial interference, enticing a child, etc.
