If the child runs away and refuses to come home, the law may intervene by requiring the child to return home or initiating an investigation to determine if there are legitimate reasons for the child's actions. The law will prioritize the best interests of the child, which may involve mediation, counseling, or temporary alternative living arrangements if necessary. Ultimately, child protection agencies and the court may become involved to ensure the child's safety and well-being.
In Virginia, grandparents can be held legally responsible for aiding a runaway 17-year-old if they are found to have knowingly assisted the minor in running away from home. This could potentially involve charges related to harboring a runaway or contributing to the delinquency of a minor, depending on the circumstances.

Yes, in California, parents have the legal authority to make their runaway child come home. They can involve the police to help locate and return the child, and the police will assist in the process due to the child's status as a minor.
No, a child under 18 cannot be charged with a crime for running away from home in most circumstances. However, it is important for the child's safety and well-being to contact authorities so they can be returned home and receive appropriate support services.
Running away from home as a child is usually considered a status offense, meaning you are not charged with a crime but rather in need of care and support. If you are found, you may be returned to your home or placed in the custody of child protective services.

No, but if an abused child decides to go to any home they wont be in much trouble by the authorities; depending on the abuse the parents can be charged, imprisoned, etc. Chances are the child in concern will be moved to a foster home till they turn 18.
Yes, but DCS is usually not that cooperative.
Her parents can usually take the child in or grandparents. Child Welfare is usually not far away and has the right to decide what is a fitting home for the child. If the mother's parents or grandparents are not fit to raise the child then the child could become a ward of the courts, but, if the father of the child comes forward and can prove he has the finances to raise that child in a good environment (even his parents helping out or grandparents) then he could raise this child. When the young woman gets out of the Juvenile facility she will have rights to see her child, but it is up to the courts to decide if she is a fit parent. If not, then the father can have sole custody. Marcy
