Okay, so my best friend that I've known for years ran away from home the week b4 thanksgiving and I found where she was and went to get her, I let her spend the night, then the next morning why she was asleep I called her dad and told him that I had her, and that I was bringing her home after he got home from work. She asks me if I had talked to her dad and I said "no." Well around 3p.m. my grandma came in and said that she talked to her dad, so my friend wouldnt be mad at me for calling her dad. Well we took her home, and she had a capias warrant, and the cops came to her house and started yelling at her and so on...Her dad asked me who she was staying with and I told him..Well I got a message from her saying that she was mad at me b/c I lied to her. I then asked her how I lied and she said that her dad told her that I was the one that called him and told...I love my friend to death and would do anything in the world for her..! I just want to kno if I was wrong for turning her in...!

As I can see, you're a wonderful friend. You only did it because you love her. You're definitely not wrong for doing the right thing. The only thing is, you did lie. You lied to protect your friendship, and hopefully she will realize this. If you are the best of friends, she will understand and your relationship will be great. Good luck, and make sure you be honest with your friends so they know they can trust you- whether it's for their own good or not.

No,you were not wrong. You probably saved her life. If she's a true friend in the end,she will get over being mad and see you told for the right reasons.I am 35 now,but when I was 16 my cousin(who was 14) snuck this guy into my parents home in the middle of the night. They went in the garage and I could hear her telling this guy(who was 17) she didn't want to have sex,(after they were already undressed) and he was trying rape her, I woke up my mom,She ran in there and got that guy to leave,my cousin was embarrassed,and when she knew I had told she was mad.But then when she realized I had done it to protect her,she wasn't mad anymore.And we are still like sisters to this day.(and to find out today he is in prison for molesting young girls)

YOU WERE COMPLETELY RIGHT!!! My sister ran way on November 20, 2006. We know that she's alive and who she is with but no idea where she is staying or what she is doing. My mother and I and the rest of the of our family are going through much stress and pain over this. We've heard she's doing drugs, drinking, and who knows what else. By turning your friend in you gave her an opportunity to have a normal life. I'm guessing she wouldn't have gone to school which would leave her with fewer options to take care of herself in the future. If she was willing to sell drugs to make money, there's no telling what could have happened to her. I want to say thank you for not putting her family through what my sister is putting us through right now. Her family is probably VERY grateful to you for what you did. You're the example of a true friend and I wish my sister could see that her "friends" are not real friends and they're only helping her because to them its a game and they have no consequences for it. When something happens she'll probably wonder where her "friends" went. You're an amazing friend and she should be grateful to have you as friend.

I wish I had friends like you. You absolutely did the right thing. I do a lot of complaining on Yahoo's Answers, and for good reason. People just seem to lack a lot of common sense nowadays to the point where it's ridiculous. But what you have said makes a lot of sense, and it's people like you that make Yahoo Answers worth checking out. Bravo. Great job being a friend.

You did the right thing. She will be angry with you for awhile and she may never trust you again, but that's okay. Take comfort in knowing that you may have saved her life! Show her your question and she will soon start to understand why you did what you did. You really care for her a lot. That so evident.... keep on loving the way you do.

It wasn't wrong at all. She didn't need to be out on the streets. She'll get over being mad at you and realize it was for the best. If i was the one that ran away i would expect you to help me the best way you knew how and that's what you did for her. I told you that day you needed to take her home, that's what she needed. you aren't in the wrong. dint worry about it.

You did nothing wrong caring about someones well being is a great thing.She will get over it eventually.If she chooses the street life over friends that care then she has serious problems.You may have saved her life Don't feel bad for doing the right thing.

You absolutely did the right thing. Perhaps you shouldn't have lied when you said "no" about calling her dad, but you were right to call him in the first place.
If she can't forgive you, you'll have to live with that knowing you did right. Someday, I'm betting, she'll acknowledge that, too...even if only to herself, years from now.
