Answer #1

There may very well be penalties - why not get PROOF of parental abuse / unsafe environment, report, and neither of you have to run away.

Answer #2

If the baby is in a safe and healthy environment, and they don’t know where you are, but you’ve made sure that your parents know you’re safe…well…after you’re 18, there’s nothing that can be done.
