A: The prosecutor makes the decision whether to drop charges. In your particular case, charges should NOT be dropped. I understand that you are facing an emotional situation, but the fact of the matter is that you deserve much better than your boyfriend. Men do not hit women. Men do not emotionally or physically abuse others. Men behave with a higher level of decency. Please call Day One at 1-866-223-1111, they help victims of domestic violence and connect them with resources.
