If you run away you will be in violation of your probation. One of the benefits of complying with your probation is that it will look better if you should find yourself in difficulty with the law in the future. Although juvenile records are protected, they can be used for some purposes to impose more severe penalties on future violations. You cannot be assured of what will happen in the future and it is safer to satisfy your probation obligations.
