If i walk into a police station at 17with no parents will i be arrested?

Question

if i tell the police i was molested by a man i used to live with and my parents abandoned me years ago and i have been on my own working and now i live with a female co worker i only have 5 weeks till my 18 b day will they take me to juvi or cps or will a report just be made

Answer 1

Certainly Not!  Being under 18 does not mean you aren't free to be seen in public.  You can go to the library.  You can go to the park.  You can go the police station.  You can go to the fire station.  Ask for a tour if you like.

Answer 2

certainly not.

i believe unless you have done something that you aren't supposed to be doing and they have proof to be suspicious, they will not even bug you.

they also don't try to arrest people often since booking the suspects i heard can be a pain.

Answer 3

Probably police like to take advantage of minors.

Answer 4

No. They will just ask how they can help you.

Answer 5

You are a victim in these circumstances you wont be arrested. If your offender is a family member, any police officer worthy of the name will do whatever it takes to see your matter through to your satisfaction and not return you to the scene of your abuse. Even if you don't want a prosecution to occur and especially if you do police and more importantly specialists in this are will do their utmost.

My advice to you is to speak to a detective from Child Protection (or juvenile aide or whatever they call themselves where your from). I work in this area and I can tell you that from my own perspective I would explain all your options and at the very least refer you onto support services to assist you in coming to terms with your situation and moving on. In some cases a prosecution is a way of putting your demons to rest, for others it's just the fact that they can get it off their chest.

Good luck in whatever you choose to do, I hope you find the path that sees you through to the right end.

Answer 6

if your in a liberal city or town probably but no you shouldn't...

Answer 7

Of course you will be arrested. The police like taking in young girls and searching them. Be careful, they will video it and put it on websites.

If you are fat and ugly, then it's safe.. nobody will want to touch you.

Answer 8

No... not unless you have done something wrong.

Answer 9

No, but they might ask where are your parents.   Honey, dont be afriad to ask and speak up about your situation.    Only speaking can you get help, in your other question you said you will be 18, let them know that, I am sure once they know that your parents left you, and you have been working to support yourself, they will get help for you.  Please, do not be afraid.

Answer 10

Probably not. Unless the reason you have no parents is because you killed them.

Answer 11

no you will not, they will ask you how they can help you. if you had done nothing wrong then nothing will happen.

Answer 12

" Probably police like to take advantage of minors."

HAH . .  no . .  teens who look suspicious .  or have given the police officer reason to believe there is something illegal . . which is sadly 79% of our high school teens . . this is why cops are so hard . .  lawyers call it profiling . . BUT . . when the teens set that profile of themselves . .  and they fit the "profile" of someone who does illegal activity . . then yes they will "harass" them. .

Also . .  you have NOO reason not to walk into a police station . . PERFECTLY fine!

Answer 13

If You Have Done Something Wrong, Then No.

Answer 14

NOOO!!!!
