Answer #1

Actually if she allows you to stay there with out your parents knowledge she is harbering a runaway which is a felony in many states If she has made arrangements with your family or if she is a family member that changes. . .So yes she could probably go to jail.

Answer #2

running away solves nothing. It is a temporary solution to a problem that will still exist, no matter where you run to.

Every child, at some point, thinks that they will teach their parent or parents a lesson by running away. Some do run away but come back the very same day. Others, we learn their fate on the nightly news.

There is nothing so terrible to warrant you to run away. You are not in a position to be able to take care of yourself out there in the world.

Be the one to start the communication and keep the communication open with your mother. Talk to one another.

Answer #3

Generally, the place you end up post run away (if it does or doesn’t work) is far, far worse than what you ran away from.

If it’s that bad, get in touch with the local courts, emancipate yourself, and get a job. Don’t just ditch & “hope for the best” because it won’t turn out that way.

Answer #4

Answer #5

she could get into trouble

ive been researching

Answer #6

this is a terrible idea - u are 15 not 21!

Please, sont run away!

If you feel trapped or without freedom in your own home, tell your parents.

Answer #7

yes she can. It’s called harboring a minor. It can and WILL get her arrested… Running away isn’t the answer by the way. Work your problems out.
