    Most of the time when a child runs away something is wrong in the home.That child is either been abuse Physically or Emotionally especially when their are stepparents involve,Man or Woman. Mothers are the weak link most of the times searching for love in the wrong places and neglecting their children.Remember your children are your furture .So take care of this problem now listen to the cry of the child. I myself was an abuse child by my mothers lover and no one listen to me I was called a liar until I had the courage to speak to my teacher about my suitation and social development got to the bottom of it.Today I will like to say thanks because they believed me and save my life.
