A truant is a person under 18 who has a legal duty to attend school who habitually misses school or some classes without a valid excuse. Truants cannot be punished criminally but they can be ordered by a judge to attend class and then if they fail, they CAN be punished for disobeying the court order.

i believe the word truant is a verb
to be truant is to be absent without leave, particularly from school
there are laws in my country against truancy, which gives police the right to question why a child is not in school during school hours
