TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
Hey so I ran away and the police caught me and they put it on my record will this affect me trying to go into the military?

TEEN LINE WROTE:
Thank you for e-mailing us at Teen Line. I understand how you might be worried about getting into the military. One of your options is to contact a legal aid in your area and ask them about your rights. Find out if there is a possibility that your record can be expunged.

Here is the number national number to the Children's Rights Project of Public Counsel, 1-800-870-8090. You can call them and they will provide you with information about your rights. Also, you can go on their website at www.publiccounsel.org.

I hope everything works out for you. If there's anything else you would like to talk about, feel free to call us at 1-800-TLC-TEEN from 6-10pm PST daily.
Thanks.
