If you are determined to have contributed to the child running away. I would be very careful.

Re: Child Runaway
If his father is the primary custodial parent, then yes, you'd want to let him know immediately, and do everything you can to cooperate with getting your child back to his father's place. You could likely be found in contempt of whatever custody order is in place if you appear to be helping your son run away and don't return him to his father's home.
