Q: friend, a victim of domestic violence aggressor threatens to have her famly members deported. Should she drop the cas
My friend is a domestic violence victim. She left her home because she was scared for her life and children’s. She just recently made a report and talked to an officer. But she is now thinking of forgetting about everything because her aggressor called her parents to threaten them(they live in a different country). She thinks he will get immigration on her family members if she continues with things. Is there anything that protects them? He’s pretty much blackmailing her.
A:
she can explain all this to the police and get a restraining order............
she is a wit not a victim............the victim is the state of California and they do not have to drop just b/c she says so..........but it does not sound like they have filed yet............right?
