Hi there. Thanks for reaching out to the Runaway Safeline. It sounds like you have some concerns about what could happen if you left home. Although we don’t have a legal background we do have some general knowledge about runaways and runaway reporting. If you are under the age of 18 you would still need to seek parental consent to leave your parents home and not be considered a runaway. You may want to consider discussing your concerns about moving elsewhere with you parents and see what they think. If you need help with wording this or communicating this with your parents please do not hesitate to reach back out to us via phone at 1-800–runaway or chat 1800runaway.org. We are always here to listen to your story and provide whatever support you need 24-7. Thanks again.
