What Is The Legal Age In Ohio For Teens To Runaway With Getting Brought Back To their House?

Answer #1

Once you are 16 you can run away and do what you will. Although your parents may still phone the police if you run away. But if you are 16 legally you can do what you want. I think. THats what I heard. And I am 13./

Answer #2

I would nto suggest running away.. but once you turn 15.. or 16. you can choose to LIVE with someone else. but there has to be a reson. my cuzzin did the same thing. my grandparents phoned the police and asked what to do. theysaid he was abel to live with how he wanted since he was old enough. so he lived with my grandparents and is now well off. so hopefully you have someone close to you close by.

Answer #3

At 16 you can runaway and stay with a friend until you go home. As log as you have a good reason why like abuse or you had a huge fight with your parents and you need to chill out for a little bit. If not they can take you right on bac home.

Answer #9

In order to be able to runaway legally and not be brought back to your parents, you would need to be 18 years of age.

If you were to stay at a friend’s house they can be charged with harboring a runaway in the state of Ohio.

If you are having trouble at home, talk to the police or to a counselor. They can get you help.
