Do_The_Right_Thing

Wouldn't it be better to admit what happened? If you go to jail, you are still living, right? Escaping, hiding, eluding, really doesn't look good for you either way. Traveling to a country doesn't stop you from being apprehended. They have international FBI. You would be extradited back to the United States. What's actually worse in this situation is you leaving causing undue stress on your parents. They could be cited as with holding information, knowing the whereabouts, and intensely giving false information on you. Aiding and abetting. You want your parents to take the fall for your crime. And if it wasn't a crime in your eyes, then you would have called the police immediately when you were with your girlfriend. You would not have left her behind. There's really not a good enough reason to leave her behind like that unless you committed a crime. America wants you to turn yourself in. Your girlfriend's family deserves the closure. You owe them that much. I'm just saying what other's have said or thought about. Many of us are parents of children your age. We all want to protect our children and teaching them wrong from right and telling the truth are most important. Being honest to the police. Being truthful.
