    Should the parents pay for the police work?

    No, why would they do that? Then we could have wealthy kids have the police search for them and the ones with no money could stay lost!

    If he’s a runaway, wasting valuable Garda time, then yes his parents should. That’d teach parents to discipline their children properly.

    To be fair, we all pay taxes so essentially yes the parents are paying for the service. And teen runaways are rarely about discipline issues and more about their emotional state.
