Runaways

Dave Pelzer did not run away as a child; he endured severe abuse at the hands of his mother and was eventually removed from his home by social services. His story was documented in his book "A Child Called 'It'."

Yes, if you kill/divorce your wife while your child is present or residing in the same home he will return to the orphanage.

1. Don't panic

2. Call the police

3. Make flyers-it should include the most recent picture of the child; a phone number so if someone finds/ sees your child they can call you to notify you; and a reward if you are offering one

4. Tell your neighbors and friends and family as well

5. When you find your child DO NOT yell at them asking " WHY DID YOU RUN AWaY?!?!?! YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE!!!!" welcome them backhome gently and sweetly

I hope you find you're child

If a runaway is found in your home, it is important to prioritize their safety and well-being. You should contact the authorities to report the situation and allow them to handle the situation appropriately. It is recommended to provide any necessary support or assistance to the runaway while ensuring that their needs are met.

You can runaway by not telling you parents where your going and also tell them that your going to a friends house but then you pack all the clothes you think that you would need and food and then you would run. My Parents haven't even found me and it's been three years and they don't even know that i live next door to them.

The legal age for a child to leave home is 18 years old. At 18 a person is considered an adult. They can enlist, sign contracts, get married, buy a car, rent an apartment and all other things need to live.

There is no time frame. They are a minor and can be reported immediately upon noting that they are missing. Sooner is better when it comes to finding them.

Not. As long as the runaway hasn't committed anything criminal, and the parents aren't pressing any charges.

basicaly she thinks shes grown so let her run away so she can really see how it is to be grown!! trust me eventuallu she'll be back home to mama!! that's where all kids return!!

That would considered either kidnap or runaway I do believe.

I suppose you can do. If your parents deny you to, then you can apply for emancipation.

Remember that your parents (if they do not want you to move) are concerned about you.

It is not as easy as one might think to move out that early on, although with the right kind of support from a boyfriend or your family this could be a correct next step.

Regards.

No, unless they don't talk to their parents. If they talk to their parents then they are not a runaway.

Ummm, this is not ethical....IF and ONLY IF the child has been emanicpated

Yes you will be charged as a runaway(if your parents call the police)the only way to move out of your parents house is if you get married(which your parents have to sign for if your under 18). There is no emansipation law in Ohio so that is also out of the question. so if your parents don't call the police on you then your in the clear.

Florida's age of majority is 18. The state does have early emancipation laws. One of the requirements that is needed for early emancipation is the consent of the minor's parent(s) or legal guardian. Florida Code... "Disability of Non-Age Minor Removed", Title XLIII, Section 743.015.

Yes. Once an absentee minor report has been filed the police are obligated to be on the "look out" for the named person. A missing person report is treated differently. In such cases authorities actively search for the named person, with assistance from the media and in some cases that involve a minor an Amber Alert is issued. No they will do nothing at 17 they can leave parents custody if they choose. We have been to all law agencies trting to get my neice back. They tell us because she is 17 and can be tried as an adult there is nothing they can do.

Yes, an 18-year-old can transfer schools in Texas without parental consent. It is a good idea to get consent because in most cases a parent is paying for the schooling. This does not mean that the parent is forced to pay for the new school.

It depends on the how the support was laid out legally. You should check your local laws because it also depends where you are located and the age of majority there - support usually stops when the child has reached age of majority unless otherwise stated by both parties. Now, again checking your local laws, if the child is no longer residing with the person that is receiving the support payments the support payments should no longer have to be made. Child support payments are paid to support a child.

In the streets you are in danger. Maybe you can contact a local shelter for youths and try to get the right help that you need, you wont be in trouble with the police if you are trying to do the right. If you are with a relative is better to contact social services and get the help that you need. Now, if you are with a "friend" and he/she is an adult (18 years old), he/she may be in serious trouble. So you better call to 1-800 786-2929 (1800 runaway) they will help you with everything. You are young and you can have a wonderful life and a bright future if you chose the right.

My son runaway he was 14 and he never came back, he died in the streets after 2 years of running away, the drugs and wrong friends took him to the wrong path. Please dont be one more.

God loves you. CTR (choose the right)

In memory of FG.

mom love you forever

That depends. Is he just having fun at his friend's house or something like that or does he actually want to run away? If the second statement is true, then....I think so.

Usually when they get found by the police or returned home, you can press "Ungovernable" or run-away charges on them. The first time this happens they'll be taken to a youth shelter for like 3 days to a week and you'll go in front of the judge and the child + parents will discuss whats going on, and if the parents want the kid home the judge will order the release. Otherwise, a 3-day evaluation for placement will be ordered for a group home, or in some cases rehab. In that case the teen will be kept in the shelter anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months awaiting placement, for a time period of 6 months up until their 21st birthday depending on the seriousness of what happened and the juvenile record of the person in question.

• In most States 18 is when you are no longer a minor so yes, your mother can call you a runaway and if necessary report you missing to the police after a 24 hour period. Instead of running away sit down with your mother and communicate and try to come to some amicable agreement between the two of you so you can get along better. When you run away your mother is terrified something will happen to you and trust in this ... many teens simply go missing or worse and even though a teen thinks they know it all the streets out there are 'mean streets' and there are predators just waiting for a young teen to come their way . Your mother has every right to be worried about you and you should be thankful she even cares enough to try and find you. It's time you stepped up to the plate and started acting mature and perhaps you would get more respect and have peace between your mother and yourself.

I think this is an issue that many parents deal with when their children get older and have vehicles. The thing is that you both have to have respect for one another and the "child" has to observe the niceties as they share your home. Otherwise, they are just using you. I suggest you have a talk with the child, mutually setting expectations and then follow through if he doesn't. Things are bad, not horrible, if they are maintaining school attendance and grades--don't believe the child. Obtain copies of progress reports and report cards from school. If the child is not producing, show them the way to a GED and to a job. Then, if you own the car, retrieve the keys and stop paying the insurance. Change the locks on the doors and windows so they have to knock to get back in. If you are providing for expenses, and/or a cell phone, cut them off. These are all privileges that are earned by contributing to the household. You can also redecorate the room, and pack up their belongings.

This all sounds tough, but believe me, it only gets worse the longer you put up with it. You can be firm and still tell the child you love them, and ask them to dinner. Delayed maturity and growth just costs you worry and money as the child gets older and brings higher expenses with them. Credit cards, children they can't or won't care for, sponging of you because they can't afford a home, and drug problems are possible future issues.
