it'll be reported as a runaway, seeing as she's a minor

Yeah i used to be in Michigan
they can report you but it's useless, just about the same as reporting an 18 year old

If she is escaping abuse, then it is okay.  Also, why would it matter.  If someone needs to flee from getting beaten, they should do it regardless of literal enforcement of law.

Im sure she can.

If she does get reported as a run away, it will just screw the parents over. Theres normally a Child Protective Services investigation then, and that would reveal that her parents are abusive. At that time she could get emancipated.

It'll be reported as a runaway, and the over 18 figure would get in trouble as well..
