Throwaway Youth.
Throwaway youth, also referred to as thrownaway youth, are defined as youth whose caretaker has “…induced them to leave against their will and made no effort to find them once they left home.” Wagner defines throwaways as “…minors who are forced by the parents or legal guardians to leave their homes.” In a similar vein, the Child Welfare League of America defines a throwaway as an individual who has “been told or forced to leave home or deserted by parents or guardians.”
Again referring to the 2002 NISMART report, a throwaway is a
youth who meets either of the following two criteria:
• A child is asked or told to leave home by a parent or other
household adult, no adequate alternative care is arranged for the
child by a household adult, and the child is out of the household
overnight.
• A child who is away from home is prevented from returning home
by a parent or other household adult, no adequate alternative care
is arranged for the child by a household adult, and the child is out of
the household overnight
