If you run away from home at sixteen can you or the person you are with be punished by law?

[Edit]

Answer

Yes, of course. You are a minor and they. whether or not they are a minor, are aiding you. Either or both of you can be punished.

Answer

If the person you ran away with is an adult, then I can pretty well assure you, they are in trouble if caught. That being said, I cannot dismiss the notion that the reason for running away was not without reason or cause. If this is true, and you suffered from abuse, you really should seek help from the authorities. Running away haphazardly is not going to solve your problems, but actually may increase them.
