Runaway Shelters/Housing
If you are 15 or under and run away, you may be picked up by a police officer and returned home. This is a status offense and may result in a referral to Family Court. Running away is not considered a legal offense if you are 16 or older. No matter how old you are, running away is a serious matter and seldom the best way to deal with your problems.
