Hey! Did You Know? "We Love You!"

Rainbow Runaway Information

If you're under 18 years of age in most states and you do not have your parent or guardians permission to be traveling to a Rainbow Gathering you may be listed as a runaway. There are some things you can do to protect yourself and your brothers and sisters you may be traveling with. 

First off, make sure that you feel comfortable with your surroundings. If the energy is giving you bad vibes find another place to hang or buddy up with someone that you trust. Keep your appearance and health up. It is a good idea to eat a well balanced meal at least every couple of days. If your snacking on what's available try to pick foods that are natural and high in proteins. Fresh fruit and pasta are good as are servings of bread and cheese. Drink plenty of water even if your not doing anything. Brush your teeth, change and launder your clothes often. If your having sex please protect yourself and your partner. Pregnancies happen as do sexually transmitted diseases.

This is very important! Notify someone of your general whereabouts. Someone your close to like a grandparent, an uncle or even a cousin. Let them know that your OK and that you love them. You don't have to say where your at or what your travel plans are but do call home and let those that love you know your safe and sound, when your older I swear you will understand that this is the right thing to do, at any age.

If you need help calling ask a friend. If you don't have a dime to call do it collect. If you need to make that a free call we suggest the National Runaway Hotline 1-800-RUNAWAY.

Parents of Runaways

If you suspect that your child has run away and may be at a Rainbow Gathering we offer these suggestions. A Rainbow Gathering is a very good place for your child to be when you consider the options of most any city world wide. There are lots of very loving people who care about our younger brothers and sisters but it goes much deeper then that. The youth of the Rainbow are very smart and resourceful folks, they have a lot of respect for each other and their surroundings. Most young men find a pack of other young men to run with and help each other survive in ways that teach as well as allows the individual to grow and become.

Young sisters generally hang out with sisters of their own age, older sisters and with small mixed groups. I can think of nothing that a sister couldn't ask for that wouldn't be provided for her at a gathering including transportation to safety if needed. The gatherings have plenty of support that allows young sisters an opportunity to learn and become in their own way and time. 

Now, this might not ease your frustration however, we have a Community Tag Board that you can leave a message on. If your child or someone that knows your child views your post it may get passed along to them.

In the kind time, please know that our hearts go out to you and that we wish you and your child all the best. Many of us are parents too and may have runaway once. One thing is for sure, if your child has come to a Rainbow Gathering they will be more prepared for the world and most likely have some interesting stories to share with you about the adventure. Peace
