The context is unclear. Do you mean a runaway?

Not exactly as in runaway, but just to stay focused or something else or can be because of frustration even, whereas runaway gives meaning of to escape etc.

"Leaves parents" could imply escape. Do you mean a child, who for example lives with grandparents, or aunt? Just at night, or always? The question needs expanding, it's a guessing game.

By child I mean, a child who stays with parents. Mostly one who doesn't want to return, might leave by informing but does not think of returning.

Apologies, but"leaves parents by informing"simply doesn't make sense in English - do you mean that the child in question has not left without telling or in concealment, but instead has left whilst communicating their intent and desires to the parents clearly? If yes, and this has been legally recognised, here in the US they would be called an "emancipated minor".
