Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Stupidity.

But mostly it's just that the majority of them -want- to be caught.  Running away is usually a cry for attention, in one form or another.

Answer 2

It's a good thing that they need to be caught, safety is the number one thing when somebody is out all alone and vunerable. They are most usually caught because they go to places that they are familiar with or places where runaways hang out at. Or places where the kids their age hang out with.
