What Would Happen if I Ran Away to Brazil?

Parents try to recover runaway teen in Brazil
This article makes me feel many different emotions. I must be honest and say like many kids I have considered the option of running away.  Brazil has kind of been in the back of my mind, pristine beaches and interesting food options. At the begging of this Article I was surprised about how easy it seemed for her to get there. I almost got excited at the fact that running away to Brazil could be and actual option. But as I continued to read I discovered the federal charges that could be pressed against me as a run away. I know for a fact that if I were in her shoes I would be scared to be held in Brazil, by the police and not be able to talk to my family. It would also not be a fun experience to get caught by a government as a run away.  I mean not only did I not want to have to deal with my family but now I have to deal with the government on my back.  It didn’t seem like her parents were too angry at her though. Personally I would be more scared of what my parents would do to me then the government. But I wouldn’t want to hand off, like a piece of meat, to my boyfriend’s uncle that would just be awkward. This article most defiantly made me think about many options I could take in my life and it’s just good to know the things that could happen if I attempted to run away to Brazil
