Thank you for your kind words. It is true that all runaways have either horrible homelives or that they are made to believe that they can escape rules and regulations at home if they leave by someone they think "loves" them. This is the case with Fallon. She followed these people around and they convinced her we had no right to tell her who she could be friends with and whom she could date. The mother of one of her friends even told us we were too hard on her and deserved what we got with her being gone. We are not hard on her. We expect her to act like a decent child, no drinking, no drugs....come home on time. All the normal rules. People prey on kids like Fallon. They are victims in their own right and we need to protect them.
