Kids may be arrested for running away from home because they are considered vulnerable and may be at risk of harm. Law enforcement may detain them to ensure their safety and return them to a safe environment. Additionally, running away may be considered a violation of parental authority or a breach of the law that requires intervention.
Jeffrey was running on the trestle bridge when the Pickwell kids saw him, according to the story "The Railroad Trestle" by Scott Sanderson.
I dont think that there is a law that says its "LEGAL" to runaway. Whatever it is that is so bad that you need to get away from, somebody, near you can help. Dont run out on yourself. If its abusive, then go to the authorities, if this is just a teen/parent battle, talk it out. There are guidance counselors, clergy,therapist, even trusted other adults in your family's circle that you can go to for help and advice. Running away is a tough life and there are predators out there looking for kids just like you to prey on. I bet you will hate that even more then for the reason you are wanting to run away. What's going on, post on my message board, maybe I can help with suggestions.
you cant run because if you will run you may or may not be happy but your family members . Did you thought about them? NO , if you want to take my suggestion please don't run away.Answerofcourse ... This is kids today even my generation we know too much it is almost not fair..There is too much temptaion and lack of values. My experience w/ running away makes since now...but it took a while. I grew up quick and generation behind me are way more exposed and it shows..... i caught a flight from Houston to ft worth when i was 14 ..my advice give a good outlet to take his mind off how crazy life is. I belive we are in a unatural coulture and everyone is kinda lost ..I ran away alot ...cause i didnt know how to cope, everyone has runaway before. There is nothing you can do..running away is form of control... 15-17 little adults.Anybody can run away, but no this is not legal if you are under 18, you will be reported missing and will be returned home when located.There are better ways to go about it if you are having difficulties at home, counseling, positive extra curlicular activities, or if really bad, childrens services can put you in a group home where you will be safe.
Yes, it is illegal and unsafe to leave your children unattended in a car, especially with the engine running. It presents a risk for potential accidents or harm to the children, as well as the possibility of the car being stolen. It's always best to take your children with you when you exit the vehicle.
Kids are not allowed to wear necklaces at school for safety reasons. Necklaces can pose a choking hazard if they break or get caught on something while children are playing or running around. To prevent accidents, schools often have rules in place to limit the wearing of jewelry, including necklaces.
If they get out let them run away so then you can call the cops and tell your kids they can get out of jail by making them to stop running away.
Running away is a crime in any state. Too, many kids end up dead when they run away from home. No matter how bad you think home is, it's always worse on the streets.
Some recommended books about kids running away from home include "The Boxcar Children" by Gertrude Chandler Warner, "Runaway" by Wendelin Van Draanen, and "Homecoming" by Cynthia Voigt. These books explore themes of independence, adventure, and family relationships as children navigate the challenges of running away.

If they are your kids, yes...if they are not your kids and you attempt to take something from them - well...then you have a big problem on your hands. Think of being arrested, tossed in jail for assaulting a minor.
more than 5,000 kids are arrested and under 20. :)
Running away from home can be very dangerous. Kids who run away often end up being abused, going without food, and even end up as prostitutes and on drugs, strung out with no place to live. It's a very hard lifestyle. If your home situation is that bad, please talk to a trusted adult such as a teacher or guidance counselor, or a pastor or someone who can help you. Running away is not the answer. If you need to, you can be put into a different home where things will be better. Please check out the Related Links.
