can parents call the police on an 18/19/20 year old child?

<p>if the parents think the 18/19/20 year old is missing?</p>

<p>or is it seen as bad etiquette? does anyone know about whether police will even respond if parents call the police on a person who’s legally an adult?</p>

<p>what about the 40 year old who suddenly vanishes from his parents’ basement?</p>

<p>For a missing persons report, the police will take it regardless of age. The police can’t bring the person back home if they’re legally an adult.</p>

<p>Combined with your other thread, I’m finding this slightly disturbing.</p>

<p>At least wait until summer term so your grades don’t die. :p</p>

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :D</p>

<p>The thread about the greyhound bus? :p</p>

<p>my grades are already starting to die. :stuck_out_tongue:

<p>well, 18, 19, 20 year olds aren’t children, they are adults. The parents may call that they are missing, sure, but they are allowed to leave if they want…they are no longer have guardians.</p>

<p>LMAO. Don’t run away, IK.</p>

<p>That being said, it does sound like a fun thing to do, if it’s not permanent and a fair bit of it is planned out. :)</p>

<p>(It’s about time you stop sitting by your computer planning out hypotheticals and started living anyhow. Get to know the real world. It likes you.)</p>

<p>my parents aren’t going to allow me to =(</p>

<p>remember i have azn parents lolololol</p>

<p>they’ll still call the police on me if i stay overnight in the university library (and if i don’t call them by 7 PM)</p>

<p>Screw them. If you plan it out well, you won’t get caught. You just have to plan it out well.
Just leave a note to the effect of “I’m 18 and I’m taking a vacation because I can,” or something like that. You know, just to prove a point.</p>

<p>haha</p>

<p>actually since im staying home while they’re going to hawaii this winter, i have freeeeeeeeeedom :D</p>

<p>but they’ll call home and get angry at me >.<</p>
