RE: Pregnant and 15 moved out of home.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us during this difficult time. Although we cannot give legal advice since we are not lawyers, we can help you explore what options you have available. You mentioned that your parents allowed you to leave home. Although they granted permission for you to leave, they are legally responsible for you until you are 18 years old.
Should your parents decide to file a runaway report, your information would be entered into a national database stating that if found, you are to be returned to your legal guardians. Although running away isn’t technically illegal, anyone that you would be caught staying with could possibly be charged with ‘harboring a runaway’. Is your boyfriend okay with taking this risk?
We can look up any resources you and you boyfriend may need. We are confidential, anonymous and available 24/7 at 1-800-RUNAWAY( 786-2929). We are also available by live chat from 4:30 pm to 11:30 pm CST at www.1800runaway.org. We look forward to hearing from you and wish you the best of luck!
