“…Much of the runaways' educational experience does not match their interests and their truancy rate tends to be higher (Beyer, 1974;Brennan, Brewington, & Walker, 1974;D'Angelo, 1974;Ferran & Sabatini, 1985;Howell, Emmons, & Frank, 1973;Johnson & Carter, 1980).…”

Adolescent boys and girls (n = 347) from the Miramichi region in New Brunswick, Canada, participated in a multivariate study of factors related to running away behavior. Results suggest that runaways tend to be boys and girls who come from incomplete families where relationships with the parents are perceived as difficult, who feel depressed and have suicidal thoughts, and who have a history of drug use and theft.

“…Correlating family conflict with running away, Wolk and Brandon (15) conclude that runaway girls report more parental control and punishment and less parental support than a nonrunaway control group. Adolescents interviewed by Howell, Emmons and Frank (6), who were in treatment a year after running, described difficulties with parents, particularly with fathers. Green and Esselstyn (3), outline three types of female runaways along a continuum of severity of family pathology: the rootless, the anxious, and the terrified108 The “rootless runaway,” having had overly lenient limits as a young child, seeks limitless pleasure and instant gratification in response to her parents' new attempts to set limits on an adolescent.…”

This paper presents a systemic framework for therapy with families of adolescent female runaways. The runaway adolescent is viewed as serving three functions within her family. First, she often parents her parents and siblings. Second, she protects her parents' marriage and regulates marital distance. Third, she preserves her family unit at the preadolescent developmental stage. Interventions are described that remove the adolescent from those roles by empowering the parents to take charge of the adolescent, by changing the communication process such that the couple deal with their marital issues without the help of the teenager, and by facilitating the family's movement toward a new stage of separation and individuation.

“…The Well-Being of Street-Involved Youth Howell, Emmons, and Frank (1973) showed that many former street-involved youth recall their street-involvement as a positive life event, and since then there has been a trickle of literature on the antecedents of resilience and well-being of street-involved youth. Miller, Donahue, Este, and Hofer (2004) reported that the street-involved youth in their study had a high level of determination and a commitment to be responsible for themselves.…”

Chapter 2 describes the Risky Business study, which is the source of the primary data for this book, including an overview of the street-involved youth sample. This study was a panel study, with five waves of data collected over roughly 10 years. More than 200 youth in Victoria, British Columbia, between the ages of 14 and 18 were recruited, and by the fifth wave, 64 young people were still street-involved. Of these, 22 identified as Indigenous and 38 as women. Eight had been in permanent foster care, and another 24 had some experience in foster care. The mean age of independence from guardian was 14.7 years. Almost all had some early-life experience with trauma and long periods of familial instability. Being on the street was widely perceived as an improvement in life circumstances, and most youth reported surprisingly high levels of hopefulness and peer support.
