There are about 1190900 (71%) children and teens that run away from home every year. Some of the reasons why kids run away from are siblings are mean and hateful to them, their parents don't give them a place to sleep at night, and because they feel unwanted in the family, but the main reason is they are in a family where their parents or older siblings and the parents abuse them daily.
A few of the reasons but not the main reason why kids run away from home are they feel they aren't wanted, they don't get a nice warm place to sleep at night, and siblings are mean and hateful to them. First one of the reasons are because their parents don't give them a warm nice place to sleep. They might make their child sleep down in the dark cold basement with mice, rats, spiders, and other rodents and insects and they have to have them crawling all over them while they try to sleep on a hard cold floor with nothing to keep them warm like a blanket or pajamas or even a small heater. Those kids suffer the worst and I really feel sorry for them and there parents because that is terrible to treat your child. The second reason why kids and teens run away from home is because they don't feel they are wanted by there parents or siblings but a lot of the kids and teens are wrong because most parents love there children and they would do anything for them but maybe they got in a disagreement, a fight, or a small argument and the kid didn't get what he/she wanted so they just ran away. That isn't the main reason why kids run away though. The last reason besides the main reason why kids run away from home is their siblings are mean and hateful to them. They don't help them do there homework or reach high things that they can't reach or anything that a nice brother or sister would help the do.
The main reason why kids and teens run away from home is child abuse! There were about 244,903 confirmed cases of physical child abuse, 44,648 confirmed cases of emotional abuse in 2008. Some of the reasons why parents abuse there children are there parents were abusive when they were a child, the parents could be drunk and not know what they are doing, the kids or teens might not obey them so they feel they should teach them a lesson and hurt them and they don't know about it. One of my moms friends husband spanked there baby and broke their baby girls legs and he didn't mean to so now he has to spend a few years in prison.
This should be handled because like i said in the 3 paragraph many kids have been abused and if you go in the kids shoes it seems like all you can do to escape the abuse or not getting a warm place to sleep or getting abused by siblings and parents.
