The only law, involving runaway teens, is that you cannot harbor one. You must report them to the police. A 2003 FBI study showed that there were 123,581 arrests for harboring runaway teens. If someone knows about a teen being harbored, then they can get fined up to $2,500 or up to 12 months in confinement. If a friend is harboring a teenager, and their guardian(s) are older then 18, then they get accused for a serious crime. The parents of the runaway can fine some serious charges. Although it does not seem like a serious punishment, it is because they can get some serious punishments including jail for up to 20 years. Harboring a teen is no small thing.
