If you are 16 and run away, and the police catch you, they will typically contact your parents or guardians. Depending on the circumstances, they may return you home or place you in a temporary shelter. You might also face legal consequences, such as being charged with a status offense. The outcome can vary based on local laws and the reasons for your running away.
