You shouldn't run away in the first place, and yes it is kind of illegal.
ghmchg
No, if the 17 year old isn't where their parents expect them to be, they are a runaway.
It's still harboring a runaway or could be kidnapping. The 19yo would end up with serious legal consequences.
no of course not -.-
Yes.
The police cannot force a 17 year old runaway in Texas to go back home. Anyone, except for family members, with whom the 17 year old moves in with, can be charged with harboring a runaway.
Yes
no legally you have to be 18 to runaway from home and not get in trouble
If you live in the US... No, because at 17 they are still a minor and therefore still a runaway.
Report them as a runaway and ask the police to return him home.
YES
As long as she is 17 it is legal.
