Can we go get someone without concent?

A child wants to leave her house because of fighting with parents. She is seventeen. Her parents threaten to call the cops if a friend comes to get her. Is it illegal to go get her if she wants us to?

Answer #1

yes, that would unfortunately be called abduction. Unless she is being physically abused, or threatened, her parents might as well own her.
