Hi,

Thank you for writing to us here at National Runaway Safeline (NRS). We understand it takes great courage to reach out, and we appreciate you sharing a little bit about what’s going on. It seems there is a lot that you are faced with right now and you’re feeling like leaving is one of your only options. It might be helpful to have some information about runaway laws.

While we are not experts on the law, 18 is generally the age that an individual may leave home without parent permission, there are a few states that have different ages listed. If you are under 18 and leave home, your parent/guardian may file you as a runaway and you may be returned home by the police. Also, those you stay with may run the risk of being charged with harboring a runaway. For more specifics on the law, the local non-emergency police or legal aid may better answer legal questions.

Your safety and well-being is our main concern. We are here as support to help through this challenging time. We can best help by phone or chat as NRS is unable to respond more than twice by email to assist you. If you would like to talk more in detail please call or chat soon.
