I seen it with my own eyesI am a recovering runaway, I am now 17 and when I was 12-15 on and off I was a runaway. The police does not have high intrest in looking for runaways from what I seen in exspeirence. Yet they do have intrest in runaways on a certain level. I Feel as if the police worries more about drugs, sex and viloence before they think about the trouble a suffering teen is going through before the thought ever procceed in a child head about running away. If they care more about what abused children and teens have to say then maybe their wouldn't be all of the runaways that have be occurring.

Does the police look for runaways in OR or Kansas?

Yes and no, all runaway children once reported go into a national computer base that is available to all law enforcement agencies throughout the United States. However they do not actively look for runaways. Although, age is always a consideration. Police are always looking, but are more preoccupied with more serious crimes and offenses that need their attention and this is true in most of the US. There are some non profit organizations that specialize in locating and returning runaway children nationwide and at not cost.

How long and hard do police look for a runaway?

Well, they never look that hard. The Police tend not to look for runaways and is not really much of a priority for them, but usually the longest they will look is 30 days. Now, if someone a police officer finds you're a runaway they will report you, but they don't really look that long. How hard do they look? Not "that" hard in the beggining, but they don't really even look at all later on. Ofcouse, like i said if you show up they'll take you, but other than that... Believe me, I know. I've ranaway before.
