A: much more info needed.

you probably should not be discussing this on an open forum.

you need to make an appt with a lawyer if you can afford one.

in that regard, I would encourage you to write out a detailed summary of the facts so that the lawyer does not have to play secretary and charge you for the time.

it is not a case I would handle.......i suspect you may want to bring the police into the pix but should probably discuss all this in depth with dad
