Trying to find out what the laws are in Ohio on harboring a runaway in Ohio. My daughter lives with her dad and ran away and called me and I picked her up. So he called the police. And in return I called children services because he had hit her.
First, make sure to contact the police yourself, RIGHT NOW! I'm not a lawyer, nor is this legal advice.
You might have a defense if you do that, otherwise it looks like you're headed for a class 4 felony. Here's a link to the applicable law.

You set an example by calling Child Fam Services? So, do you think that will make things ok for you? That just added fuel to the fire. She ran to you now, and when she disagrees with you, then ???
