First of all, its not a good idea for you (or your friend) to run away. If there is a serious problem at home (abuse, etc, etc), then you need to report to the police of Child Protective Services. You will not be able to transfer schools without being discovered, and it will also be difficult to find a job, but not impossible. She will always have a "runaway" tag on her, and if police or other authority runs her name, they will discover that she is a "runaway". This is also the case most of the times when you go from state to state. Police will look for you (or your friend), and is she is caught after she is 18, she is an adult, and is no longer considered a runaway. On the other side of this, if a missing persons case is initiated on you (or your friend), then the search will be much more intense. The best thing I can tell you (or your friend to do) is to wait it out, you jsut have 2 more years until your adult and you wont have to deal with any of that drama, and of course, if the situation is something alot more serious, report it. Good luck to you (or your friend)

Well she cant start another school with out a parent, and her transcripts from her old school. So she would get caught then. Even if she leaves state the cops there will pick her up and then she will be taken back home. And will probably end up in a foster home or something. But once she turns 18 then she is an adult so it wouldn't matter any more.
It is never a good idea to run away from home, if she wants out that bad then she needs to find family to live with, and do it the right way. With her parent or guardian given the other person legal custody of her. Or if she is being abused she needs to go to her counselor at school and tell them. They will call someone that day and she wont have to go back home.

kadens mom is right. Also since she is a minor her picture will be posted all over the news and the local newspapers. There are a lot of things that can happen to a runaway out on the street. It is not a safe place to be. It is illegal to transport a minor across state lines with out parental consent. Nothing can be that bad that she needs to run away. If it is there is help for her she just has to ask for it. Her teachers are the first place to turn. I don't know what they will do after she is 18 but that is a long way off, especially when you are on the run. Convince her not to do it and help her get the help that she needs. Good luck.

It must be horrible thing for you to go through... but there is nothing the police can do because she is over 16 years old. But she is till undr 18 so there must be something they can doo... surely just to help. I have no idea why a 16 year old would run away with a 34 year old..but yet again what would a 34 man want with a 16 year old girl.. If I was you.. I would do everything you can.. just keep pushing and pushing the police.. till they help you. they must understand your worry

transferring schools would be one of the easiest ways to get caught. plus, you can't transfer yourself if you are only 16. your information will always be in the missing persons database so people will always be looking out for her. yes, the cops can still get her no matter what state she is in. after she turns 18, people will still be looking for her but if they find her, it is her choice on returning with them or not.

you're really on the wrong side here. you should convince her not to leave home. she's just going to be making this worse in her situation. you can't enroll in school without a parent or legal gaurdian to register you. and a 16 year old is just not capable of taking care of herself. if things are really bad for her at home tell her to contact a counselor at school or maybe the girls and boys hotline. if her parents are abusing her she needs to ask for help. so try to convince her to find another option.

she should call the runaway hotline. i believe its 1800runaway. there she could get support, information and probably tell her of shelters where hopefully she will be safe. answers to your questions probably vary from state to state.
