There is more than one book called "Running Wild".
But if you're thinking of the one by J.G. Ballard,
Its about a murder mystery written in the form of a diary by a police psychiatrist. One day in 1988, 32 people are found dead in a small high security village and the 13 teenage children are missing. As the investigation progresses, it is discovered that it was in fact the children who murdered their parents and the other adults who worked and lived there. Why? Because the children's lives were practically run for them by their parents. They were "choking on a non-stop diet of love and encouragement" and the children felt that the only way to get out of this so called "paradise" was to remove the last few obstacles before they could reach out to their freedom.
