What can we do with an 18 year old girs who wants to run away and live with a guy who is into gang activity and drugs what can we do?

Harsh but effective, take her to a morgue and hospital ER. Let her see with her own eyes what that life will bring, is death. Bring her to inner city areas, drive around showing her what they have, nothing. Let her know that no one should define her, that she should do that, that not being a independent thinker, will take away her self esteem and confidence. Why be a follower when you can be a leader. There are groups out there that will be happy to help you, they are lead by adults and family members of someone that has been killed by gang related violence and they speak for the community. Look in your local phone book or go down to the local YMCA or community center for outreach program information. Good luck.
