There is an important difference between a Runaway and Thrownaway, because the thrownaways, don’t decide to take the decision to go out of their homes, like (Hammer, Finkelhor, & Sedlack, 2002) say: ‘’the concept of thrownaway youth to characterize young people who were forced out of their homes or were refused permission to return’’. They are forced to go out, by their parents or their adoptive family and they don’t have the option to return again.
