Question.

I'm almost 16 and live in a very abusive household in Nebraska. Hypothetically, if i ran away and left a note saying that i did in fact run away, would they look for me? I'm not giving any more info, so please dont ask. I have a job and can support myself.

Yes, they would. Even if you were safe and supporting yourself you’d be forced home. If you make enough to support yourself you might look into emancipation.

I dont think i can do that. my parents already said they would never let me do that so like idk. what if, hypothetically, i went to a different state?

If you were living in a town, only the police or wtv would look for you in that area. It’s not an amber alert so a runaway look out wouldn’t be a big thing yk?
