Hi, thank you for reaching out. It sounds like you are wanting to go live with your boyfriend because of how your mom is treating you. You never deserve to be abused and we are sorry you are experiencing this. From what we have heard, Michigan will not take a runaway report if you are 17, but there is still a chance that your boyfriend and his family could face charges for harboring a runaway. It is also important to know how you would get to Montana as we care about your safety. If you would like to talk more about this, what you are going through or some possible options, please either call our hotline 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929) or chat us online at 1800runaway.org. We hope to hear from you soon.
Be safe,
