In California, a 17-year-old is considered a minor and must have parental permission to leave home legally. If a 17-year-old leaves without permission, their parents can involve law enforcement, but the situation would not typically be deemed as a runaway since they are only a minor. The focus would likely be on locating the minor for their safety and well-being.
