Would this situation be considered kidnapping?
I come from a very religious household and I was planning on attending the Reason Rally, an atheist rally on the mall in Washington D.C. this weekend. I am 17 years old and I was planning to go with another 17 year old friend, and an 18 year old friend and her father. Unfortunately, my parents found out and forbade me from going. When I told them I would be going anyways, they threatened to press charges on my friend's father for kidnapping, and get the local police involved in looking for me.
So my question is, would this be kidnapping even if I gave my consent? Wouldn't it just be considered running away from home, which is perfectly legal? I live in Delaware, so I would be crossing state borders, would that also have an impact on the legality?
I was also considering running away a few days before, and then going to the rally after that so the initial missing person report couldn't be filed for kidnapping, would that work?
Thanks.
