Q: How many days is a 15 year old reported runaway considered disappeared/missing???
My 15 year old cousins mom filed a runaway report on September 26. We the family yet have to believe she had to do something with his disappearance but police wont do anything because she filed the report as a runaway..
A: There is no set number of days. Whether law enforcement considers a person missing will depend on the specific facts of each case.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: There is no particular number of days, but there must be something that is making them feel it's a runaway situation. You may want to reach out to them again and inquire about why it's being treated as a runaway case if the family feels otherwise. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
