Q: Can I be charged after running away for the last 3 months of my minor state?
I am 3 months shy of turning 18 and my home life is making me severely suicidal. I understand that i can be arrested and put in juvenile detention center, but what can happen if i am not found by the police by the time i am 18? Can I still be charged with anything? Can my 20 year old boyfriend get charged with kidnapping still?
