The act of running away in NM is not illegal but if you're a runaway and are found by the police then you can be brought back home.

edit: but the authorities cannot tell you that you cannot just up and leave again.

there are laws but police are not up to date with their knowledge on what the laws are. I would call your local juvenile detention facility... but talk to a children's court attorney...sort of like a prosecutor... they have alot more knowledge and are very helpful on what to do..

If you are a minor, you can be in trouble for running away. Only once you have reached the age of majority, are you free to live where you wish.
