Answer #1

Um I don’t think that there is a “law” about running away I mean wtf.

Just by that question you can see that your not even mature enuff. When you run away and your perents find out or whatever you get reported, then the police or cps ( child protective services) are al so involved and then your going to put down as a runaway. And then I guess you would be interviewed by cps to see why you took the disition to runaway and what is going on at home and all that. You want to live life on your own then you gatta be 18 and also be ready to face life.

The point is that why go trough all that trouble when you could wait till you turn 18 and when your legally an adult and do whatever you want. Or if something is going on and your unsafe or whatever, tell someone, a trusted adult, or someone.

Answer #2

I think the cops will come after you I mean I dont really know but if they do call the cops that means they love you and you had know reason.But if yyour parnets hitting you or sexual abuseing you then call the cops

Answer #3

Well if your parents call the cops then they will try to find you but there other ways to deal with things then running away. If you have a good reason to runaway then you should tell someone

Answer #4

well if they find you they make you come home & I thnk stay one night in jail I think or take you home .. && disaplt you how you parents what 2 do

Answer #5

You can get arrested for running away.. You can LEAVE at 18… The police will be involved when your parents call them. If you’re having problems at home, there are other ways to deal with it besides running away. :]

Answer #6

you can be any age to runaway. the reaction to you running away depends on why you did it. I ran away at 16 because of my mom and step dad. my step dad hit me and sexually harassed me. and my mom wouldnt do anything abt it. you can privately write me if you want to explain to someone why you feel like running away.
