Approximately 2 million youth across the United States run away from home each year.  As a result, some consequences may include; school truancy, poor grades, sexual or physical abuse, family illness, drug or alcohol abuse, divorce, unplanned pregnancy and family communication breakdowns.  In addition, approximately 5,000 of those runaway and homeless youth die from assault, illness and suicide.
