How long can you be away from home before reported as a runaway?
My parents have been mad at me and expect me to just attend school, come straight home and do what they want me to do here. I want to be able to hang out with my friends for atleast a little while then come straight home. I don’t want to get in trouble from the cops again. Im 17 and I would like to know how long I can be away from home before reported as a run away…?
You won’t solve your problem by running away you know. You might even make things worse for you. Try to have a serious, mature and calm discussion with your parents instead; ask them why they are acting like this, explain them how you feel about it, and tell them wht you’d like to do instead (hanging out with friends etc) . Reassure them about you not smoking/having drugs or alcohol or anything, if that’s what they’re afraid of.
You more than likely wont be reported as a runaway but a missing person, and you could be gone for like 2 hours 2 be reported missing, I’ve had it happen to me several times
It depends on the state. Some states have laws that depend on age for minors. Some states (Texas for example), have no time period at all. If a minor is thought to be missing, immediate action is taken (the Amber law).
24 hours
Actually I believe it’s 48 hours.
