If a 15-year-old child with no developmental delays runs away but returns within an hour, must the runaway be reported to Licensing as a serious incident?
No, a 15-year-old runaway (without a lower developmental age) does not have to be reported to Licensing unless the child is missing for 24 hours or more. Please note that any runaway must be reported as possible neglect if neglectful supervision is known or suspected to be a contributing circumstance of the incident.
