Legal Question in Family Law in Mississippi

Re: Rebecca has left home

The first thing is to make it clear to her that no matter what she can come home whenever. Then gather all the information you can that can be used to help authorities find her. Then report her as a runaway to the police. The youth or family court might be able to help. They have something in the law called "child in need of supervision" but they may be too overwhelmed with other cases to pursue the matter. You can pursue guardianship so the chancellor will talk to her and try to do something to gain her cooperation. You can also form alliances with law enforcement, professionals, support groups, family, and friends to take actions that would be in her best interest.
