In Georgia, running away from home is considered a status offense, meaning it's an act that is only considered illegal due to the age of the individual. While a 17-year-old can face legal consequences for running away, such as being taken into custody by law enforcement, they typically would not be locked up in a juvenile detention facility for this offense alone. Instead, they may be returned home or referred to services aimed at addressing the underlying issues. However, if there are additional factors or legal violations involved, more severe consequences could apply.
