Dear LawGuru Friend,

I am of the opinion that such running away

by a seventeen year old has no legal

consequences, as there is no crime in

leaving home and he is no longer a juvenile

so that the juvenile authorities and laws do

not apply to him. If you would like to discuss

this futher, e-mail me at [email protected],

and give me your name and phone number and I will

call you and/or e-mail you to discuss it further.

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, J.D.
