Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

16 year old ran away to aunts house across state lines

We live in Utah, I am a step-mom, my step-son has ran away, taking his car and drove to California to be with his aunt. She enrolled him into summer school without permission, he has just received a 2nd speeding ticket and my husband, his father, will not report him as a runaway after talking to an officer who said it is not against the law. He is in trouble and I need him back home safe and sound. What can I do? (no guardianship, no adoption)

You cannot do any thing legally. Your husband can get him back, but apparently does not want to. Sorry.
