I am 17 years old and my family life has been messed up way too long I can get emancipated and I can't stay I won't make another year. I am going to run away.
I need to know how long before the search goes out of state. I live in Florida and I will be leaving the state. What are my options and what are the chances I won't be caught before I turn 18

When reported, within 48 hours your data will be on the national data base. Anytime you are stopped, you will be detained and turned over to the Juv authorities.

So what is so bad, what is so wrong, report the problems to children's services, see if there is a local kids shelter that the dept can put you in.

what are the chances i wont be caught b4 i turn 18Hello Youngster:

If you have MONEY, your chances are good. If you DON'T, they're not. You may have to turn tricks to eat... THAT ain't good.

Hi and welcome -

Sorry to hear that things are not going to well at present. I understand from what your saying that there are a lot of family problems.

Do you have a church leader that you could turn to or close family or a friend that could help you. Running away is never a good solution to fix a problem, I am sure there will be other options to help you.

Would you be able to give a little more background as to why you are feeling this way and also why you really want to run away - because this may help people on the forum here be able to give you some good advise without having to run away.
