What is one reason a minor might be taken into limited custody?

Minors can be taken into limited custody for being absent from home without consent because this behavior is typically viewed as a refusal to adhere to parental authority and can be seen as a form of running away or being at risk. When a minor leaves home without permission, they may be placed in limited custody to ensure their safety and provide necessary interventions.

This response recognizes the protective role of the juvenile justice system in situations where a minor's safety and well-being may be compromised due to their absence. The system aims to address the underlying issues leading to such behavior, ensuring that the minor is safe and has access to support services.
