No, running away is not allowed and there is no law that specifically protects children who run away. However, there are laws in place that protect children from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. These laws vary from state to state, but generally provide for the protection of children from harm. Additionally, many states have laws that provide for the protection of runaway children, such as providing shelter and other services to help them return home safely.
