just a question please help

Hello, well I'm 19 years old and i live with my mother in miami, Fl... The thing is, my senior grade is making an after party right after the prom ends, and i already pay everything but my mom doesn't want me to go there and she's telling me that if i go there she will report me as a missing person... My question is can she really do that? I mean I'm 19... Or can she report me as a runaway? And last question... I want to become a police officer in the future, can she affect my criminal record (which i don't have) by reporting me as a runaway? Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out to us. It sounds like you have some questions related to the potential legal consequences of your mother filing a runaway report. We are not legal experts and, therefore, are limited in our ability to answer legally-oriented questions. However, we can say that, as a 19 year-old person, you are legally an adult and cannot be reported as a runaway/missing person. Therefore, you cannot be charged for leaving your home.

For answers to any further legal questions you may have, you can call Child Help USA at 1-800-422-4453 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Also, you may contact us 24/7, as well, at 1-800-RUNAWAY or chat with us at www.1800runaway.org during the hours of 4:30pm-11:30pm CST if you need further resources or support. Good luck!

Best,

NRS
