Police say law erodes authority over runaway youths
A Cedar Rapids family questions police power after a 13-year-old daughter ran away for six weeks to live with a 21-year-old woman and her 13-year-old boyfriend. Officials say Iowa’s 1979 Juvenile Code limits police action, shifting leverage to the Department of Social Services and leaving no mechanism to compel a runaway to stay in a shelter or return home.
