Please...my daughter ran away at 12 and the coops didn't do sh*t because I knew where she went. When she climbed out the window at 16 and I didn't know where she went but they said "Unfortunately" they couldn't do anything. So I doubt anything will happen unless you have a boyfriend over 18 or some other adult talking you into it, then it is called contributing to the delinquency of a minor and then they MIGHT do something. Its different in every place though so ask locally instead of broadly like here... |

your parents are responsible until you are 18, however if you do decide to leave they might not do anything. (if you leave & they bring you back you will more than likely do it again, they don't have time to chase you down over & over until you are 18) |

Yes. As long as u are still a minor (under 18 years of age). Also, wherever u run away to, that person could get into serious trouble for keeping you there, it is considered aiding and abetting a runaway. |

Depends on what the age of majority is where you live. However, if no-one calls the police and you don't get arrested no one will probably care/know. |

Most likely, however, they would not jail you. They use dogs to sniff you out. |

No they cant because you can move out when you turn 17.
If you were 16 you could get in trouble |
