If you run away from home at sixteen or fifteen in the state of Vermont does that give the police legal rights to track you down and bring you back to your parents?

{| |- | Yes it does. Until you reach the age of majority, 18 in most states including Vermont, you are the responsibility of your parents. They are required to take care of you and can be held responsible for your actions and your debts. The police will return you to your home or put you into foster care or a group home. |}
