Runaways

In Texas, a child must be at least 17 years old to be considered an adult. Until then, running away may result in the child being classified as a runaway and subject to being returned to their legal guardian or authorities taking other protective measures.

The legality of a mother running away with an underage child depends on the custody arrangements and legal circumstances. In general, it is not advisable to run away with a child without obtaining legal permission or going through the proper legal channels. It is important to seek advice from a legal professional in such situations.

Depends why they ran away and if you went to look for them and bring them home. Also on whether or not they are emancipated.

In Mississippi, the legal age for a child to leave home without being considered a runaway is 21. However, if a minor leaves home before that age, they may still be subject to laws regarding parental responsibility and the duty to provide support. It is recommended to seek legal advice if you are considering leaving home as a minor.

teens runaway either because they have gotten into an argument with mom or dad.or school problems.maybe because they have something important to tell their parents but dont want to. it could be because of abuse as well

No, but if an abused child decides to go to any home they wont be in much trouble by the authorities; depending on the abuse the parents can be charged, imprisoned, etc. Chances are the child in concern will be moved to a foster home till they turn 18.

Maybe not a police officer but the Childrens Services may.

It's important for parents to seek legal guidance to navigate the complexities of their rights and their child's autonomy.
