After what age will the police not think of your child as a runaway in South Carolina?
It's time you were honest with yourself and figured out why your daughter keeps running away. Kids don't run away for no reason. Until you fix what is wrong in your own life your daughter will continue to run away no matter how young she is and there is nothing you can do about it. The police can bring her back 50 times, but she'll just run away. Time to put on your thinking cap, search your soul and sit down and ask your daughter why she feels she needs to run away. No matter how silly her reasons are, treat her like an adult and try to understand when you were that age and make an effort to understand her feelings as well.

Child runs away do you have to pay child support?
Yes, until the court rules otherwise. see links below..
A child support does not end because the child is a runaway,however child support is just that,it is to be used for the support of the minor child if that child is not there then you need to contact the court and find out the options available to you in your state..
Support payment will continue regardless....However
There are some States in which if a child is a runaway then all the child support payments can be held in escrow by an attorney or by the court itself and are then released only when the child has been returned home...If the child does not return home then all support payments that are made will be released to that child when the child reaches age 18....check your local laws...
Where is a treatment center for teen runaways?
When a teen runs away it can be for several different reasons. The severity of how much you get in trouble depends on how many times you've ran or if your a ward or part of DCS (Department of Child Care Services) The only way you can get in trouble is if your reported. Some teens have warrants out for their arrest. Others can be be placed in a lock-down facility, placement, a shelter home, foster care, detention, or back to their original home. All these options are used frequently. If your a ward of the state you can still get in trouble up until your 21, unless you stay in hiding for a certain amount of time and then your case will be dismissed. All I have to say is don't run because in the end you will need your education and no one wants to be homeless. Even if you have somewhere to go, your plan could fall through for any reason. People helping you out can get into trouble as well. Patience is a key virtue. :)

States that participate in the AMBER Alert program are required to begin looking for the minor immediately. If an underaged person's whereabouts are known, they are designated an "absentee minor" and it generally requires the parents to file a motion with the court to obtain a requisition order and have the minor returned to their custody. The exception would be if the minor is in an unsafe or potentially dangerous environment, in which case authorities can take the minor in custody and place them in a juvenile hearing until a custodial hearing takes place.
The police can bring the child back to his father since the court order says it is his weekend. The mother also have a responsibility to make sure the child is brought back and can not break the court order.

What does one who runs away lives to fight another day?
It means that the fight isn't the end...it's the means to the end. If you are out gunned then it's stupid to fight and die or fail or loose just to keep from running. Being wise is not being a coward and being stupid and staying in a battle that you cannot win is not bravery. It's foolish! Leaving a loosing battle and regrouping and coming back another time, more prepared, better equipped or even sending someone else more qualified is just good business. Arrogance and pride keep people fighting a loosing battle....not bravery and wisdom. They may THINK they are being wise and brave but they are being ignorant and foolish. Pick your battles wisely and know when to retreat so you can continue to fight later.
