[QUOTE="catwoman, post: 62293, member: 1574"] My son ran away when he was 16 and was missing for a week. The police did very little. They don't treat a runaway the same as a "missing" child. One detective expressed surprise that I would even want him back after what he had been putting me through. I tried contacting the media and once they heard he was a runaway they weren't interested. (This was when I was living in NJ. Maybe other states handle it differently.) I got the most info from kids he went to school with who knew I was going out of my mind and wanted to help. Also, the people at The Center for Missing and Exploited Children were a godsend. They hooked me up with several excellent support groups (this one included) and gave me a way of leaving messages for my son in places that runaways frequent. You can reach them at 1-800-TheLost.
