🎥 Break the Label | Labels We Left Behind

Quick question…

Can you think of a word that used to be completely acceptable, even used by doctors or professionals but today most of us would never use?

Take a guess before you watch.

This week’s Labels We Left Behind explores three words that were once official labels, but over time society recognized the harm they caused and chose better language instead.

It makes you wonder…

What labels are we still using today that future generations may leave behind?

The Presbyterian Church (USA), the largest Presbyterian denomination in the United States, has passed a measure expressing support for body-deforming sex-change surgeries for youth exhibiting gender dysphoria.

Wow....the church has lost its compass.

Predators evolved.

Technology evolved.

The dangers evolved.

Maybe it’s time the language evolved too.

The final video in our history of the word “runaway” series is now live.
Video 3

The world our children live in today looks nothing like it did in 1974. Technology evolved. The risks evolved. Predators evolved.

But the language used to describe many missing children has remained largely the same.

Maybe it’s time we start asking whether the words we use still reflect the realities children face today.

PART 2: The 1900s — How “Runaway” Became a Label for Children

In the 1900s, the word “runaway” shifted again.

What once described escaped servants, runaway horses, and people fleeing control… slowly became attached to children and teenagers.

By the mid-to-late 1900s, society began treating vulnerable youth as troubled kids who simply “ran away” instead of recognizing the deeper dangers many were facing.

Then in 1974, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act officially defined a “runaway” as a child who leaves home without permission.

At the time, the goal was to keep kids out of adult jails.

But the label stayed.

And over the decades, that single word became deeply embedded into police systems, media coverage, public perception, and American culture throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

Even as the world changed…
the language didn’t.

Because today’s dangers are not the dangers of 1974.

Part 3 next week:
The 2000s — internet, smartphones, social media, online grooming, and how technology changed everything.

The word “runaway” has a long history.
And it didn’t start with children.

In Part 1, we explore how the label evolved from the 1500s through the 1800s — from fugitives and deserters to runaway trains and slavery-era advertisements.

Because words carry history.
And labels shape perception.

PART 2 coming next week:
How “runaway” became attached to children in the 1900s — and why it still impacts missing youth today.

MISSING. NOT RUNAWAY.

Amen @RepNancyMace check out 14 circuit Solicitors office Beaufort!

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

Justice isn’t a bargaining chip.
Protect the innocent. Prosecute the guilty.

[Break The Label @InLowcount33021]

This is absolutely disgraceful! This is my attorney general here in SC. The 14 circuit Solicitors office in Beaufort SC doesn’t have any better numbers.

Behind the scenes at Lady’s Island Oyster Farm.🦪🇺🇸

Frank, a retired Marine and former homicide detective, helped pioneer South Carolina’s oyster farming industry right here in the Lowcountry.

Local farms like his feed our families, strengthen South Carolina’s economy, and preserve a tradition worth protecting from foreign competition.

It took awhile, but the mainstream media is finally paying attention to South Carolina’s broken “justice” system. Thanks to @DavidPascoeSC and S.C. sixteenth circuit solicitor Kevin Brackett for sounding the alarm on this for the past four years….

[Lynz Piper-Loomis @LynzPiperLoomis]

Now for the Emily Hollis case @AGAlanWilson ….

12 year old drugged abs raped. She was taken to Florida.

SC DHHS certified as a human trafficking case but you said no to investigation.

Her rape kit still sits unprocessed at SLED.

@TeamWilsonSC you are a despicable human being.
