Does the police still take Runaway Child reports for a youth 17 years of age?
Asked on Aug 19th, 2015 on Child Custody - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
I'm seriously tired of living with my parents. I feel invisible here and it doesn't feel right. I feel closed like I'm inside of a bubble and not able to live my own life and make my own mistakes. A lot more is happening. My dad says if I move out before 18 he'll report me as a runaway child. I've heard that in some states, police don't take runaway child reports anymore for someone who is 17 years of age.
You are a minor until you are 18. Unless your parents are abusing you, stay put, as you are probably ill prepared to live on your own. It is expensive.
