The Young Runaways Synopsis
Heartless parents C.L. Doyle and his wife take two of their older children, Rosebud & Joseph T.

Infuriated by this, Rosebud talks Joseph T. into running away with her so that they can break their younger siblings out of the system, which sparks a manhunt, and an outburst of sympathy among kids everywhere.
