Parents can report suspected criminal activity to the police, even by their children and even without evidence. However, knowingly making a false report of a crime is a crime in and of itself.

Can parents call cops if you leave at the age of 18?

No, parents cannot call the police to report a child as missing or a runaway once they reach the age of 18, as they are legally considered adults. At 18, individuals have the legal right to make decisions about where they live and do not need parental permission to leave.

Can one of your parents take call the cops on you if you leave without their permission?

Parents can either call the cops on you, or for you. They can call the police and tell them that you are to hard to handle as a child. The police would probably contact Child Protective Services, and they would either place in a home where you are easier to maintain and watch. They could also put you in Juvenile Hall if you break more serious rules. They can also call the cops if they didn't know where you were and the police would find you. The police would probably call the DSS (Department of Social Services).
