My question involves juvenile law for the state of: Colorado
I'm 14 years old and I have a boyfriend who is 24 and my parents don't approve of us dating so we decided to run away together. My boyfriend has a van in which the back can be used as a makeshift bed so we decided to embark on a road trip to Canada. I waited until my parents went to work, packed up as much as I could into some suitcases then my boyfriend arrived in the van to pick me up. We put my stuff on board and then we headed North towards Canada. Within an hour we were in Wyoming and it was so exciting. We drove for a few more hours then arrived in Montana. I had texted my parents and told them I was at a friends house studying so I figured I had time to get out of the country before they found out what was happening. If i were to make it to Canada there is no legal action my parents take to get me back to Colorado, right?
Anyways I fell asleep eventually and then we stopped at a gas station restaurant to have dinner and fuel up. We were back on the road in about an hour. We continued driving and once it started to get dark out my parents told me to come home. I told them I was staying the night at my friends house and they told me no I had to come home. I was sure I was able to convince them to let me stay so my boyfriend pulled over and shut off the engine and I called my mom. She was silent for a moment then asked "why does it say you're calling from out of state?" i asked her what she was talking about and she said the area code was from another state. I hung up immediately and told my boyfriend we had to haul ass to Canada NOW.
He turned on the engine and drove as fast as he could and we got closer and closer to the border. Then a police car showed up and started chasing us with lights and sirens on. We kept going and when we reached the border it was all blocked off by police and state troopers. I thought we were done for and then my boyfriend veered to the right and crashed right through some bushes to get across the border. I started cheering because we were now safe in Canada. But then the state troopers and police started following us. We kept going but then there was a huge line of traffic with no way around it. My boyfriend slammed on the brakes and in the blink of an eye law enforcement was caught up with us. They pulled my boyfriend out of the van and handcuffed him. While that was happening i was also removed from the vehicle. My boyfriend was arrested and I was told he was in serious criminal trouble and would almost certainly end up in prison. I was put in a car and transported home, and they alerted my parents.
When I got home I was immediately sent to my room. My bedroom door had been taken off, my TV removed, all my makeup and jewelry gone and I had changes of weather appropriate clothing and all the rest of my clothes were gone. I'm posting this from a school computer right now. I'm grounded from all technology and I'm not even allowed to travel to and from school and home without one of my parents.
My questions are:
1. What legal action do me and my boyfriend take now? Law enforcement had no right to follow us across the border and arrest us there.
2. I don't think my parents are innocent here either. They put me in serious danger by reporting me as a runaway because they knew I wasn't just going to come home. I could have been killed in a car accident. Also removing my bedroom door is an invasion of privacy.
Also if you were my parent what would you do about this?
