I am CPS investigator from Texas. And the answer to this question is yes and no. Depends on your particular situation Are you the only care taker for your child? if so do you have a young child? If you don't have a family member to place the child with CPS could take custody. The same would also apply if you were getting drunk all the time and you were the only care giver for your baby. However if your kids are 15 and 16 and your the only care giver not such a big problem. but its illegial. So if your a parent just don't do it.

Can you be sent to juvenile detention center for running away?

The police don't "throw" anybody anywhere! They take them into custody and deliver them either to the court or to the Dept of Children and Family Services. It is the Court and/or DCF who decide what will happen to the juvenile, NOT the police.

What do Child Protective Services do?

What would seemingly require a very basic answer is actually a very controversial question. Some say that child protective services remove children from their homes, often against their will, split families apart, and pry into business that is not their own. They even have 'quotas' that they should try and meet regarding how many children they should take away. Others say that CPS do a necessary job to try and rescue children from abusive or dangerous situations, that they may give them a chance at doing something successful in the future. Both are true. It really depends on the people that work for Child Protective Services. Nevertheless, if a child can be safely kept with their family, they will undoubtedly be psychologically healthier in the long term than a child who is removed from that family.

Can a foster child in Georgia run away and get married and not get in trouble with the law?

I think most foster children are considered to be in custody of the state. What you might want to do is if you want to get married that badly call your local Children and Youth Services, it might even be called Children and Family services. If you are underage and run away I think you could get in some trouble. If the other person is over 18 they definitely could get in trouble. Make the call before you do something drastic.
