Until you hit 18 in Florida (as in most states) you live where your parents tell you or allow you to live. Beyond that, police can and will take a runaway report, enter you into the national system, and will either return you home or have parents come and get you if you are found. They can also charge anyone allowing you to stay with them against your parents wishes with a misdemeanor crime for doing so (contributing to the delinquency of a minor).
