I know this has to be scary for you to even think about. But--and I say this with love and respect--I can see why that would bother him. Running away is often a desperate act, and is sometimes also a form of self-harm and/or vengeance. Trying to make a plan for how to make a desperate and possibly-cruel act more palatable is not going to make any sense within an adolescent's black-n-white way of thinking.

This is absolutely true.

You're doing the right thing to say so, though.
