It's highly unlikely that authorities would intervene in such a situation unless the adult sibling placed the minor in a situation which could jeopardize said minor's welfare. The legal definition of "harboring a runaway" would not apply in such circumstances as long as the parent(s) were made aware of the minor's whereabouts.
