Wow! It's been a while since I've been on this. My question is: Why is a juvi act such as running away from home, as serious as they make it? Like they might detain the juvenile for 24 hours. Why is that? Thanks-MC

The state has an obligation to keep minors safe. Illegal juvenile behavior, such as running away, is an indication that something is wrong. The juvenile might be detained for a day or so while the police and social workers investigate the child's home.
