out of the 1 to 1/2 million runaways in the US each year the majority run away because of a disagreement. And tell me, would you rather a run away is picked up by the police or a pimp? Because I know of a 10 year old that ran away and was picked up by a pimp, spending five years as a child prostitute, where he not only had to have sex with adults and other children, but also animals.
