Today,
in
America’s
society
it
is
extremely
common
to
see
on
the
news
or
hear
from
a
neighbor
that
a
teenager
has
ran
away
from
home
and
currently
missing.
This
shocking
news
is
becoming
more
adequately
by
all
communities
and
all
families.
In
fact,
studies
show
that
one
in
seven
young
people
between
the
ages
of
ten
and
eighteen
will
run
away.
Perhaps
with
more

families
can

and

teenagers

vulnerable
to
disasters
throughout
the

in
today’s
society
that
teenagers
run
away
from
home
is
because
they
have
been
victims
of
physical
abuse,
unwanted
sex,
or
emotional
abuse.
These
children
typically
run
in
fear
from
their
parents
or
other
close
family
members.
In
situation
like
these
the
minor
will
be
motivated
to
find
help
in
someone
that
he
or
she
trusts.
Unfortunately,
since
the
abuse
has
inclined
and
caused
the
teen
to
run,...
