1. Troubled kid leaving a good home.
2. Good kid leaving a troubled home.
3. Bad guy abducting kid.
Regardless of which applies here, my prayers are with her and her family.
Yup. I did your item #1 @ 16. Had a GREAT dad and wacko mom...so decided I’d run off. Stupid of me. My dad knowing me as he did chose the smartest thing he could do which I’ll explain.
I called like 2 or 3 days later and told him I was safe and not to worry. He said...GOOD...you can stay there then.
Of course I IMMEDIATELY wanted to come straight home after hearing that, and basically did :) Never “ran away” again either and realized living with mom was not going to last forever. (unlike my poor dad had to do ;)
