You already know the answer. I think you just need to hear it for yourself. I hope you haven't already done it. You can get into a heap of trouble. Don't do it. Don't get involved. Stay out of family trouble. Your own legal troubles can then ensue. Trust me it is not worth it.

Yes, you can get into trouble especially if you know it's against the parents wishes. It's called "contributing to the delinquency of a minor." You are assisting them break the law by running away. You should never do such a thing. If there is something else going on that involves the safety of the children involving their parents such as abuse then report it but dont get involved other than that.

yes. Aiding to the delinquency of a minor, unlawfully dealing with a minor. I'm sure there are other charges as well. If its not your kid, its not your business. If they are having problems from abuse or something, that is still not the answer. Local Law enforcement or child protective services should be notified. There is no acceptable reason for any non-parent to be involved with assisting a child to run away.

Why anyone your age would even think about doing something like this truly amazes me! You're helping him to run away from home and run away from his problems. Do you realize what could happen if you did this? He's a runaway, all by himself and in the streets. He could be killed, molested, fall into the wrong hands, start dealing drugs because he's run out of money, he could be the victim of a terrible accident. THINK!!!

If the parents wanted to press charges, I believe they could because their child is a minor and you have no right to interfere with custody.
Why would anyone want to do that for a minor anyway? Sorry, but you need to reevaluate your character. How would you feel if it was your child and someone did this to you behind your back? So morally wrong and dishonest of you !!!

Absolutely...the least statue that you are violating is contributing to the delinquency of a minor and assisting a runaway.
The most? I don't know you are assisting a minor to cross state lines which may or may not be a federal crime affording you a much nicer stay in one of our finer federal institutions.
Really....keep out of the situation.

Yes. Contributing to the delinquency of a minor by aiding and abetting his/her transportation out of state.

Unless you are the parent with custody or a court appointed guardian. Do not do this. You could get in serious trouble if you did. If your friend is having problems take them to see a counselor or a member of the clergy.

Depends... If it is a relative buying you a ticket to go visit another one during a problem at home or something like that, th eperson may not be in as much trouble as a Joe Schmoe buying a ticket to a young teen who is not a legal adult yet, without parental permission.
Heck, doctors won't even do a physical on a minor coming into the office alone without parental permission in my town! I'm talking about a private, walk-in clinic, not the ER, of course!
