Many children and adolescents run away from home, and
many become victims or perpetrators of incidents after they run away. Whatever
the situation, it is important to know exactly why children and adolescents run
away, to address the issues and causes of running away, and to prevent them
from running away.
Children
or adolescents may run away because their relationship with their parents or
caregivers has become problematic and they feel they are being harmed and are
convinced that they can no longer be kept safe by their parents or caregivers. Or
they may run away because stress and wounds are always occurring at home but
they are unable to heal themselves or deal with them, and are convinced that
they can no longer bear it. It is very likely that neglect, abuse, or violence
against the child or youth has occurred during this process.
When a child or adolescent runs away, it
is a dramatic change in life. First, running away from home is not a natural part
of the process of forming psychological habits, but it is likely to cause
psychological problems in them. Second, children and adolescents lose both the
right to be safely protected and the right to form healthy psychological habits.
Third, they must pursue the rights of their own happiness, happiness in
relationships, and values of life, also taking responsibility for them like adults.
A serious problem is that psychological habits that
can take on the rights and responsibilities of self-actualization have not been
fully formed, and because they have problems of psychological habits, many
people who meet them after running away can take advantage of them. As a
result, they feel that their thoughts before running away and the reality after
running away are very different, but they do not want to go back to the state
before running away, and they end up living as perpetrators or victims of accidents
and crimes after running away.
The best thing that can be done is to prevent children
and youth from running away in the first place. To prevent them from running
away, we need to keep them safe, help them develop habits of healing stress or treating
wounds, and help them develop habits of conflict resolution, and help them grow
while forming habits of relationship, habits of emotions, and habits of
thoughts.
However, if a child or adolescent has already run away, the following steps should be taken: First, the child or adolescent must be helped by a facility, institution, or organization that can keep the child or adolescent safe; second, the child or adolescent must be helped to treat their own problems of psychological habits; third, the parent or caregiver must be able to help the child or youth develop healthy psychological habits while keeping them safe. The fourth is to help prevent runaways by addressing the issues of relationship, emotions, and thoughts that led to the runaway. This way, the runaway can learn how to deal with the issues, develop stress-healing or wound-treating habits, and develop healthy psychological habits through trial and error.
