14 year old with major family and legal issues

[Unregistered]

Hello I'm a 14 year old girl in Ohio with a 7 people family that's falling apart and really wanted to ask how old do you have to be to decide to leave with a friend out of reach of your family's disfunction?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us through our online forum. It sounds like being at home is really difficult right now. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having such a tough time. In most places, you can’t legally leave home until age 18. If you were to leave home without permission, your parents could file a runaway report with the police. Although running away shouldn’t go on a criminal record, the police would be required to return you home if your parents file a report.

We would be happy to discuss your situation in more detail if you decide to call or chat with us.

Best of luck,

NRS
