Re: Re: if i runaway can my mom call the cops?
Hi there,
Thank you so much for reaching out to us here at the National Runaway Safeline. It sounds like you are having a tough time at home and we are sorry to hear about this. We’re glad you reached out and shared a bit about your situation.
We’re not legal experts here, but generally speaking if you leave without permission from your legal guardian before the age of 18, they would have the right to make a runaway report. If a report is made and the police find you, they typically would just bring you back home. However, anyone that you stay with could potentially be charged for harboring.
If a legal guardian kicks you out of the home, without providing a safe alternative place to stay, this could be considered neglect. It sounds like your nana does have an alternative place for you to stay, so this would likely not be considered neglect.
We’re here to help you 24/7 in any way that we can. If you are willing to go elsewhere and feel we may be able to facilitate a conversation between you and your nana, please do give a call at (800) RUNAWAY (786 2929). There’s always someone here to listen and to help.
Best,
NRS
