Re: "Fleeing" the Country
Until you are 18, you cannot legally leave the country without permission from your parents.
Re: "Fleeing" the Country
How do you expect to enter another country without a passport?
I'm genuinely curious.
Re: "Fleeing" the Country
I did not violate any laws
Not, say, ORS 471.430?
Re: "Fleeing" the Country
@Dogmatique: Well I have a passport, it's just that my mother took it. Obviously I will need to get it back (I know where it is, but of course I will not take it until I actually leave).
@cbg: Yes, clearly what I did was against the law. I meant whilst on probation I did not commit any sort of crime.
Perhaps this was not a helpful place to ask about the ramifications of my proposed "escape". I'm not interested in semantics. I really would like to know what could happen if I actually follow through with this. I want to know consequences, that's it.
Re: "Fleeing" the Country
Anything from "nothing" to your being dragged back home by your ear. Or anything in between. The crystal ball is in the shop.
When you are 18 years old, you can walk out the door and no one can stop you. Until them, you leave home at the pleasure of your parents. Make no mistake, if nothing happens when you leave, it is because your parents choose to have nothing happen.
Re: "Fleeing" the Country
Perhaps you should ask your PO about the ramifications.
Be aware too that your criminal history might just be an issue once you get to the UK.
Re: "Fleeing" the Country
@cbg: Thank you for the response. That is pretty much what I figured. I'm not so sure it's a risk I'm comfortable with, as my parents might indeed drag me back (and in that case, I would be in much greater trouble). However, if they did nothing, what do you surmise might happen with my probation situation?
@dogmatique: Are you saying that this would result in my developing a criminal history? I'm informally on probation, so I'm not actually charged with anything. Of course I cannot ask the PO about this...
Re: "Fleeing" the Country
If you leave against the conditions of your probation, that may indeed result in you ending up with a criminal history.
