Answer 1

Nothing. At 18, you are a legal adult. The police can't do a darn thing about it.

Answer 2

The same thing that people told you in your other question asking the exact same thing just 7 min ago-

Unless the person is defined as incompetent by statute or court order, they're on their own.

Answer 3

Nothing..

Answer 4

Once you're 18, you're no longer legally a "dependent" and then there's no such thing as "running away".  You're on your own.
