Just for talking to her, no, you can't be locked up. For telling her to disobey her parents, see you with out their permission, maybe even do something that is illegal? Yes, you could be arrested for those things. It is the SUBSTANCE of the conversations that will get you in trouble.
If you want the best for her, you would follow her parent's rules until she is 18.
