Runaways

Yes, if you run away from home but continue to attend school, your parent or guardian can still report you as a runaway to the authorities. Just because you are attending school doesn't change your legal status as a runaway if you have left home without permission.

Yes, in California, parents are legally responsible for providing financial support for their minor children until they reach the age of 18 or are legally emancipated. This responsibility includes providing for their basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing, regardless of whether the child is living at home or has run away.

In Michigan, a minor is considered a runaway if they leave home without permission and do not return for 24 hours. At that point, they are generally classified as a runaway and law enforcement can be notified.

This is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Consult the specific laws for the state and county in which you reside for the rules that apply. In most states, any 18 year old is considered an adult and is capable of deciding when and where they reside. They have the ability to contract for housing. SOME states allow minors to become emancipated under specific circumstances, but this is not just a matter of filling out some paperwork. A minor is the responsibility of their parents until such time as they reach the age of majority or are legally emancipated. The parents are required to provide for the support of their minor children. If the parents give permission, the minor can live in another location. Such permission does not relieve the parents of the responsibility to provide support. If the parents do not give permission, the minor can be considered a runaway. Charges may apply to individuals that aid and abet such runaways, particularly if they are under the age of consent. In some states it is my understanding that this is not enforced for 17 year olds that leave home. If you are subject to abuse, you should contact social services for your area. They will assist you in getting out of the bad environment and into a safe place.

There is likely to be a legal avenue for you to refuse access to your son to his/your home.

It will likely require that you follow-up with your local law enforcement agency, if your son chooses to disrespect your decision to banish him from your home.

That's not possible. But it is possible and legal for the parent of an absentee minor to hire private agents to track down the minor and return him or her to parental custody, Likewise a parent can request that the court issue and order to have the minor returned to their custody or to custody of their home state. Once a court order is in place authorities will be on the look out for the minor and will take them into custody and remand them to state juvenile authorities.

A report should be made to the authorities concerning the absentee minor. The obligated parent should not cease support payments without the consent of the court regardless of the circumstances surrounding the issue. It would be advisable for the obligated parent to consult with the attorney who was involved in the custody and support issues to determine what legally acceptable action can be taken.

If the minor was at your place of residence or you knew where she was and failed to report it to authorities there is no defense. The only option would be to claim that you were not aware she was a runaway, however, a court would consider that a very flimsy defense argument. The best option is to obtain legal counsel as soon as possible. Most attorneys offer free or minimal fee consultation. In lieu of that choice you may have to enter a Nolo Contendre plea to receive a reduced sentence agreement. The final dispensation of the matter will depend upon state laws and how aggressively the PA wishes to pursue the case.

If you are reported as a "missing person" and people are assisting you, knowing that your parents do not know where you're at, they can be criminally prosecuted on a number of charges. Contributing to the delinquency of a minor is one, interfering with authorities (if a report has been filed with the police), obstruction of justice, and so on and so on.

No, your mother wouldn't go to jail, but it would be wise for her to phone and tell your father you are safe and with her. She had no part in you running away and ending up at her home. It's possible your father has custody of you. In this case your mother should go to court to get custody of you and all you have to do is say you would prefer living with your mother. These arrangements have to be approved by your mother, of course. It is very confusing and difficult when parents divorce or are separated and often the children of the family don't realize the legal implications of why they either have visitation rights (the children may not want to see one parent, but have to visit them) and also why a mother may not be able to take children in to live with them. Raising kids today is extremely expensive, and most men make more wages than women. For a woman to start over again in her life is difficult. This doesn't mean your mother doesn't love you. You are old enough to be able to sit down with your mom and discuss what arrangements she made with your father and go from there. You can ask her if you could live with her.

The police would pick up the 16-year-old and return her/him to the father, unless there was some allegation of abuse, in which case, you better able to prove it because those are serious charges. And the mother could possibly be charged with something along the lines of 'custodial interference' (because even though the mother is a 'parent' to this child, she does not have custody)/harboring a runaway/etc.

Be cautious, always vigilant for potential risks.

In most cases, if a 16-year-old runs away, the police will conduct a search and may involve social services to help locate and ensure the child's safety. Having a record of running away once may influence how law enforcement handles the situation, possibly prompting a faster response due to previous behavior. The main goal is to locate the teen and ensure their well-being.

The length of time a runaway teen would spend in jail would depend on the circumstances of their case and any potential charges they might face. Typically, they might be returned to their parents or placed in a juvenile facility rather than being sent to jail.

Runways are build on flat areas of ground.

Running away at 12 is not safe or advisable. It's important to talk to a trusted adult about any concerns you have, such as a parent, teacher, or school counselor. They can help address the situation and provide support. If you're in immediate danger, contact emergency services for help.

G irls runaway for many reasons. Some are: arguments between parents, step parents, boys, drugs,depression and the ways they can get treated by people involved in their life. Some just do it for the heck of it and just want to hurt their families who might really care for them and that girl might not think of it that way. That's what I assume it should be.

Thomas Edison was in his mid-twenties when he saved a 3-year-old child from a runaway train in 1867.
