You need to call child protective services if she's in danger. Although I believe you mean well, you need to understand that if you take part in her running away you can face charges due to your age difference. In some states you can be charged as a sex offender if you have a physical relationship.

I am sorry but I have direct experience with this so it absolutely happens.

You are an ADULT and SHE is a MINOR CHILD!
If anything call CPS so THEY can get her out of that situation.
She is a kid son and she has a lot of growing up and maturing to do yet and by the time she goes through that chances are your marriage will NOT survive it and the kids born during that time will suffer.I guarantee she has emotional and mental problems as a result of this.
Not to mention they can file charges against you as a sex offender if you try to marry her.
Use your head here.If she loves you NOW, she will love you 2 yrs from now.
This should NOT be about getting what you "want" but "helping" her.You won't be able to help her if you are locked up.If the authorities find out you are trying to take her away to marry her, you are going to be under investigation.
