If you live in the US... Of course, your parents can report you as a runaway, because that's what you'll be. On the first offense you'll likely just be picked up and brought back home (and then you get to deal with unhappy parents who may take away all your privileges and freedoms and ground you until the day you turn 18). If you continue to runaway, then the court can get involved. They can order you to pay fines, do community service, be restricted to curfew, attend counseling, etc. And also, if anyone harbored you, assisted you, or encouraged you to runaway, they can face charges for it.
