Pray for the Safe Return of Our 16-Year-Old Runaway

In summary, if your 16-year-old runs away from home, it is important to contact the authorities and file a missing persons report as quickly as possible. Parents are not typically held responsible for the actions of a runaway 16-year-old, but it is important to seek legal advice. Communication and building a strong relationship with your child can help prevent future runaway behavior. A 16-year-old has the legal right to leave home without their parent's consent, but is still subject to laws regarding truancy and curfew. Resources such as counseling services and the National Runaway Safeline are available for parents of runaway 16-year-olds.

We have friends whose 16 year old daughter ran away today. There have not been any leads as to where she may be. Please pray that God protects her and brings her home safe and soon.
 
:( Hopefully she'll come back soon - safe & sound.
 
My prayers are with your friend, on the safe return of their daughter..
 
Prayers said.

She was found this morning!! She did nothing but drive around for 24 hours. Her parents are on their way to get her. She was at least 150 miles from home. Last night she was on the TN/KY border and this morning she was N of Louisville KY. The found her at the Santa Clause, IN exit. She was alone and she is safe. Please continue to pray for the family and all they are going to have to deal with now that she is found.
 
There is hope for "lost" children like her! I truly hope she can get the help she needs and deal with what ever is bothering her! This hits home for me!
 
So happy that she was found safe and sound! I too hope they get her whatever help she needs...
 
Hits home for me too. Prayers said for the family, all of them. There is hope...she called, she is home. That's the important part.
 
What wonderful news!
