RE: my girlfriend

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out to us for help. It sounds like your girlfriend is 16 and is considering moving in with you and your father in Colorado at the end of the year. You should know that until your girlfriend turns 18, she is considered a minor. If she leaves home to move in with you without permission from a parent or legal guardian, she could be reported to the police as a runaway. This means that the police can make her return home. It is not a criminal offence to run away, but you and your father could get into legal trouble for harboring a runaway if you allow her to stay with you without permission from her parent or legal guardian. It sounds like you are in a really tough position. If you need to talk about your options or you have any other questions, we are here for you 24/7. Please do not hesitate to call us at 1-800-RUNAWAY or chat with us online. We are looking forward to hearing from you soon, and wish you the best of luck.
