Runaways

yo runnaway to a friends house but go to when where who ever u running away from dosent know

First you need to send the police a picture in case your teen didnt run away and was kidnapped. Next you need to broadcast it all over thenews using an Amber Alert so it can get broadcast quicker. Then if your teen does come back talk to them. Let them know that you are here for them if they ever need you or just want to talk. Tell them you would always be there for them no matter what. DO NOT THREATEN, YELL, CURSE, CUSS, SCREAM, OR GIVE THE SILENT TREATMENT.

if the teen is having problems with his/her family they should talk to someone if she/he does go to live with there family and the parents do not know where they are and they find out they could post u as a runaway and press charges on the family also they can get them for kidnapping..........so talk to someone

If you began your fugitive lifestyle before you attained the age of 18, then yes, you could be arrested even though you are now 18.

In Texas the legal age to be able to move out is 17. You would just have to call your parents and tell them your okay and have a secure place to live and the police cant intervene. In other states I'm pretty sure you have to be 18, or you will be considered a runaway and can be returned to your parents and/or be put in a juvinelle facility. To get emanicpated you have to be 16 and you can look up laws about emancipation. So to the point: legally you cannot live with your sister unless your parents agree, you live in Texas, or get emancipated.

:/

I believe the age is 17 in Iowa. I'm not sure though, I'm not from that state. x3

Just don't run away too soon kiddo. :(

if your under aged then the people you are staying with can be charged with fostering a runaway. you really want to be careful with this because if your parents want to press charges against the people you are with they can possibly charge them with kiddnap,even if you diod runaway on your own!!! good luck!

Yes, but law enforcement may not do much if the runaway is near the age of eighteen.

You could be charged with "non coustodial interferance"

i dont think theyd get in any trouble cuz 16 is the legal age to move where u want to

depending on the age/dependibility of the child if they dont want u home and u dont wanna go then no, however if u want to go home they MUST let you come home if u r under the age of 16

Rosemary's Baby

Can she "run away", obviously yes, but it would not be legal and her parents could take steps to have her returned to their custody or even request she be taken into custody and supervised by state authorities.

YES!!! Especially if the other person is over the age of 18 years old.Be careful, it could turn into a really bad thing...especially if her parents(or his parents) were to push the issue in court

okay... here are the three steps of running away from an abusive home: 1. secretly pack clothes, food, and A LOT of water. 2. dial 9-1-1. 3. get police, and tell them the story. 4. VITAL PART- ask for a good foster home that doesn't have too many kids. that is how you make it out of an abusive home. The police thing might not be good, but you YOU DON'T want to go to an orphanage. people rarely go there. YOU DO NOT WANT to be a hobo either..... unless you really want to be one.

if they have you in custody, yes they can

the adult who took the child to the park and left them.

YES

The age of majority in NC is 18. But at 16 you can petition for emancipation.

Technically, you

Absolutely nothing in Torrington, Ct. They catch you and bring you to the station make sure your ok and release you to your parents. * It depends upon the state and if the minor has a history of leaving home against parental wishes. If the minor has a record of being a runaway or absentee minor, the court consider the minor to be "incorregible" and have them remanded into juvenile custody in a group home or other court supervised facility. In any case an investigation will be done by the state's department of family and children's services to determine the reason for the action and if warranted, request the juvenile court to take the appropriate action.

Depending on the age it is not really a parent issue, in New York after 90 days the parents can be arrested until the child is found alive or proof of life is given to police. * The parents are responsible for filing an absentee minor report with the police department that has jurisdiction and to cooperate with authorities in whatever capacity is required. Neither parents or any other person can be arrested simply because a person minor or adult is missing. Before anyone can be arrested there must be proof that a crime has been committed, and said person had particpated in or had knowledge of the criminal act in question.

File a missing minor report with your local law enforcement agency either by going to the police department or requesting an officer be dispatched to your home. Write down the name and badge number of the officer who takes the report and also the report number. Request that the police agency enter the report data into the NCIC system. If they refuse to do so, tell them you are aware that it is mandatory under the 1983 Missing Children's Act. If they still do not cooperate, contact the local office of the FBI and give them the necessary information, they must comply under federal law. Contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5628 and the National Runaway Line at 1-800-621-4000.

No. Wisconsin is the only US state where a minor who is at least 16 can use "self-emancipation". The requirements are, the minor must be in a safe environment as determined by authorities, must inform the parents or guardian of his or her location and must comply with all state laws pertaining to compulsory education, sufficient income for support, etc.
