C. runaway
The term "runaway" is used to describe a child or teen who leaves home without permission and does not return for at least one night, or two nights if the child is often reported as a runaway. This action indicates that the minor has chosen to leave their residence without notifying their parents or guardians, and without their consent.
Running away from home can be for various reasons, ranging from conflict or tension with family members, abuse, neglect, the desire for independence, or other personal issues. If a teen or child runs away multiple times, it can be a sign of deeper problems at home or with their mental and emotional state.
