Running away is similar to child kidnapping (mostly done by parents and family members without active custody) in that we assume the worst when in reality there are certain circumstances that count but are much less bad than the conclusions you would immediately jump to: Going to stay at a different relatives house or a friend’s. Foster kids doing the same. Going to live with a parent who does not have full custody.
