my friend ran away from his house today, walked for about 2 hours, then went over to my boyfriend's house where we both were. my boyfriend and him a tight friends. can my boyfriend get in legal trouble for letting my friend into his house?
cuz really, my boyfriend did good, because my friend was walking through some sketchy neighborhoods. he could've gotten shot or stabbed, or jumped.

Your boyfriend did the right thing by keeping your friend safe, but he needs to call his parents & them know where their son is.
If his parents happen to find out, your boyfriend could get in trouble for harboring a minor. But it wouldn't be your boyfriend that's in trouble, it'll be his parents. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

HOWEVER yes, he could get into trouble for aiding and abetting a runaway if he doesn't call his parents or the police to notify them of his whereabouts.
