A: MORE INFO NEEDED.

YOU SHOULD NOT BE SHARING THIS ON AN OPEN FORUM.

YOU MUST HAVE A LAWYER AND THAT PERSON IS IN THE BEST POSITION TO ADVISE YOU.

I SUSPECT S/HE WILL ADVISE YOU WHAT IS INVOLVED IN CONTACTING THE DA WITH THIS INFO. IT OFTEN INVOLVES A LAWYER OF THEIR OWN TALKING TO THE DA.

HOWEVER, THE CRIME IS AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND IT IS UP TO THEM TO DROP CHARGES, NOT THE FAMILY MEMBER.
