I want to run away and live with my sister who is in another state. But the problem is, I'm on probation. I'm also in a court based program. I can't leave that program unsuccessfully, I HAVE TO LEAVE SUCCESSFULLY.If I were to run away, and go out of state to live with my sister, what would happen? Would I get locked up from the state I am in with my sister?

Oh sorry, by the way I'm 16. If that helps.

Wait patiently until you are 18 or have your parents, and the state's permission to go. I have a daughter who runs away all the time. She's 16, and she's missing right now. I want you to think about a few things before you make a decision that YES, could land you in jail. First of all, probation isn't a joke. It is a valid punishment for something that it was proven in a court of law that you did. If you violate it, you will be considered a habitual criminal, rather than a person who made a mistake and took their punishment like a man (or woman).
Second, and this is the one that is important to me: Most parents try really hard to do what is best for their children. We try to protect them and help them get through the tough things that teens really deal with on a daily basis. We mean well, and we love our kids. We also make mistakes. You understand that- you've made at least one. Sometimes we are too hard on our kids because we think it will help them to make better decisions. Sometimes it's because we are afraid that you will ruin your lives with your mistakes. Sometimes we are so paralyzed with fear that we don't do anything at all, and our teens take it to mean that we don't love them. Whatever it is that you feel is wrong, the best way to fix it is with an honest, open, heart to heart discussion with your parents. If you need someone to help you with that conversation, get them. A school counselor, a family friend who can be fair and impartial, a religious leader, are all possibilities. Don't ruin your life. Suffer through a little drama now, or there will be a lot, possibly an unbearable amount, later. You can do it. You can IM or email me if you want to talk about it.
Also- to answer your direct question, you would be brought home to go to jail.

DO NOT DO IT. You would be arrested in your sister's state and then sent back to your state to be tried for a violation of probation. Since you are on probation, that is your biggest problem. Once you are off of probation, go live with your sister. But if you violate your probation, you will have a HUGE problem. Seriously honey, don't do it!!

get you head on straight child. if you leave while on probation and fail to complete your programs, you will have warrants issued for your arrest. even in another state if you get pulled over or the police find you, you WILL be arrested and sent back to your home state to face a judge. finish up with you business then go. you cant run from your problems!!!

As long as you're on probation I wouldn't plan on running very far. You would more than likely be shipped back to the state that you ran from and your butt would sit in jail for probation violations.

Call your probation officer maybe you can transfer to your sister`s state if that state will let you in. You will get a officer from that state.
