I'm 17 years old and i live in Maine, can i run-away without having the police involved?

Question

I'll be 18 in less than 2 months and my father says i can't see my friends or my boyfriend. My friend told me if i leave there is nothing that the police will do about it. Is that true? Or will they send me back to my Dad's house?

I have been without them for 3 months already now. I don't go to school, but i have plenty of places to stay, and money saved up.

Answer 1

well i think the police wouldget involved since your still a minor.
Your gonna be 18 in 2 months where you can legally leave so i'd just be as rebellious as you can for the next 2 months. Go out anyway just be like "im going to see my firneds" and walk out. then leave right when you turn 18 and the police cant do anythinf
Running awa is not a smart idea though especially if you have no way of supporting yourself. Just wait till your 18 and be like "i'm moving out"

Answer 2

If you turn 18 in two months, what is so pressing that you can't wait? If you just up and run away without telling someone of your intentions - the police will be involved because it will become a missing person's case - rather than a 17 year old runaway teenager.
Obviously, in two months, at 18, you simply move out.
Is this the best decision? Are you ready to fend for yourself? Can you support yourself - get a job - all of the necessities including health care, shelter, food and so on?
Perhaps you might consider talking this over with someone that you trust that has more information concerning your reasons and situation.

Answer 3

Wait the two months.
I think the police still might be able to take you to your dads
since you are 17.
I ran away with my boyfriend (now husband) when I was 16
and the police found us in three days.
I should have been more patient ( not running away and waiting until I turned 18 for us to be together) or at least not ran away in the middle of January. I got frostbite and was in a wheelchair for a couple of weeks.
