My 17 yr old daughter ran away from home. No one from my tax funded law enforcement is able or willing to help or assist in anyway. She has chosen to do this a week prior to moving out of state to take a job that would greatly increase my pay. I am told that no one will go get her or look for her. I am told that I am still legally responsible and can not leave the state, as that would be abandonment. Truth I do not want to leave with out her. I have already turned in my two weeks notice at work, and have been told I would have to wait for an opening to come back. So if I stay I am jobless and homeless. If I leave, I am considered to have abandoned my runaway child. Any ideas of legal merit would be greatly appreciated.
