Ask me how to get your loved one in NamUs
I don't know--I feel that "Who cares?" may be being read too much into. If a runaway was asked by an adult if their parents knew where they were, I don't think they would say "No, they don't." If anything, it reads like an attempt to dodge the question--to me, anyway.
I would have said something similar. I was a middle child, parents could care less where I was. At age 14 I was hanging out at the stop & go until it closed at night. I was also dating a guy in college
