Answer 1

you better think about what you are saying.

if you go to mexico you will probably get kidnapped and end up in a prostituion ring.

if you need help then go to someone,, your pastor, teacher someone will listen to you if you reach out for help!

please don't go to mexico..!

Answer 2

If you do that, I would suggest trying to hide in a little town rather than a large city... I don't think the mexican police would make an effort to find a runaway 16 years old, but beware... You would be likely to suffer a very hard life, with many dangers- What part of the country are you considering to run away to ?

Answer 3

Hi. I think you should get help from the goverment so they can give you money and help you with your dad and that's it. In Mexico nobody would help you.

I dont think they would stop you in the border, that has no sense, but if you really want to run away you should go to cancun. In cancun you may be able to work and get wellpaid and also they have lots of tourists ALWAYS so they wouldnt suspect about you.

Hrm... well, I won't ask any questions about your personal life, but even if you could cross the border illegally (even with a valid US passport, you can't enter Mexico legally without written permission of a parent because you're under 18), what will you do in Mexico?

If it's hard for an adult American with a highschool degree to get a job here (you need a working visa to work here as a foreigner and they are hard to get unless you have a university degree and already have a place to live in and some income when you come here of several hundred dollars at least), chances are you won't get any decent job.

Unless being a s*x slave is a job you'd seriously do because there aren't many other things you could do as a fugitive underage foreigner. Maybe work in a farm in a tiny village, but you'd be paid peanuts with nowhere to sleep and with barely enough money to survive.

As for getting caught. On one hand, bounty hunters can't enter Mexico and US cops can't cross the border either. However, if your mom reports you to be lost and they locate your possible wherabouts in Mexico. Believe me, while the mexican government wouldn't care too much about 1 foreign illegal not bothering anyone, they will care if the US government is putting pressure on them to find you (given they could suspect you were kidnapped which is a very serious crime in Mexico). If some nice family lets you stay with them and you enter this situation, chances are they could arrest the family and send them to 60 years in jail just because you're an American and they want to look efficient with the US even if they knew those people are innocent.

If possible, you could still runaway but within the US's boundaries and live with a friend and still get a safe job, you don't have to learn a new language because if you speak english in Mexico you will stand out a lot and wait till you become 18 and can legally never see your family again (but then will you finish your HS degree and maybe enter college? These are things you have to factor in too).

I don't know how your father is, but many kids your age want to run off because he got angry you smoked weed or found you watching a p**n movie and grounded you. Kids your age don't see yet that running away underage has consequences like without even a HS degree, what kind of jobs will you get? Will you have enough to survive?

Unless you're not demanding and don't mind getting a low wage job in a don't ask-don't tell job in a farm or something, you won't really earn enough cash to live very well.

Try to think things out more. It's just for another 1 1/2 years and you could cause someone innocent to go to jail on kidnapping charges. You could mature very much in this time and see things more clearly. If your father is beating you or whatever that's real abuse and not just normal parenting, go to the police. The US takes child abuse pretty d**n seriously and you could either end up living with some other relative or you could request a judge to allow you to become a legal adult at age 17.

Answer 5

Don't be such an idiot... if you're going to run away because of your dad don't run away to mexico unless your about to be murdered. If not, you could try going to the police and a judge etc. But if you can't or you did and nothing happened, i suggest to go somewhere in your country where you can be safe. Mexico is a nice place, but the border is dangerous, because of the people who wants to pass, and the us agressive "security", you may not be able to return to your country anymore. The border is a dangerous place so don't try it. And yes, the mexican police can do things, but I don't think they would find you, if you are going to run away do it in a safe city with money and a place to go and stay because if you don't you might suffer a lot and aybe regret it.

Answer 6

If you follow thru with this plan I can tell you one thing for sure !

YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO SEE THE POLICE IN MEXICO !

Answer 7

the cops in mexico will also try to find you and might bring u back!

talk to somene about your father report him to the cops if  he has done bad things to u, it's for u own safety!

and trust me u do not want to go to mexico right now there r going though really bad kidnappings and some cops are even corrupt.

Answer 8

Forget it you would not get through the border .

You need notarized written permission permission from both parents to travel to Mexico and then you have to travel with a guardian.

Trust me you are NOT ALLOWED to enter Mexico.  You are 16 you would be arrested at the first checkpoint and returned even if you swim.

WORK you are not going to get work in Mexico.

Tell me where your dad is and I will come and have a word with him

Answer 9

If you are seriously thinking about running away then it sounds like you need to talk to someone about the troubles you are having. A friend or something might let you move in with them. Please try that. At 16 running away can be a bad thing not good. And yes they can find you anywhere, even Mexico. Maybe you could also get a job or something to keep you out of the house that way you wont have to confront you father. :) Please seriously remember that you will not only be running away but you'll be changing your life for the worse in turn.
