[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5585550, member: 58386"] Read the ABC News report on the matter. Shelters, host homes and state operated foster care facilities must report the kid's whereabouts to directly state CYF services. CYF then begins the task of locating the parents and that isn't always easy and to try to achieve reunification if the environment the kid will be returned to is deemed safe. And the kid doesn't necessarily have to go back with the parents if they believe that it isn't safe and that they are better off where they are. It gives the kid some rights in the matter and their opinions heard. And BTW. They are not all runaways. Some are abandoned and in some cases under court order CYS has to take the kid out of the households they were in and place under CYS control or into foster care. So the message the state of Washington is sending to parents is quite clear. "If you're doing such a poor job of parenting that we had to get involved then here are the rules by which this matter will be addressed". [/QUOTE]
