My 13 year old sister has run away from home just over a week ago, and my family would like to get her home. We've tracked her down to a home that's she's staying at and would like to know 2 things .
1- can we force her home? There are absolutely no reasons behind her running away, she's inderage and under my mother's legal responsibility. Is there any legal backing in making her come home or do we just have to beg and plead and hope for the best?
2- the people that know she's run away and are still allowing her to stay, are they legally responsible? Can they receive any legal ramifications for knowingly allowing her to stay with them?
We just want her home :/
