Considering running away with girlfriend
I am 17 and my girlfriend is 16 and she has an abusive situation at home. Her parents are prepared to lie about it in court and claim that she is not psychologicaly stable (completely untrue) They are taking actions that are directly negatively affecting her life and not letting her have contact with anyone. Not even family or close friends. We want to run away together, but I know her parents would file a report and try to get her back home. God knows what would happen to her then. My question is could I be charged with harboring a runaway if neither of us are 18? And once we were both 18 could we get legally married or would there be consequences to face? Any help appreciated. I wish I could do this legally but her parents are truly evil. And thats not just a teenager speaking. Thank you for your time in advance
