My mom died when I was five and I've got money ever since. I got money out before but I my dad had to go through the court to get it approved. I'm just wondering when I'm able to touch it fully.

Depends on the terms of the court order setting up the account. Some pay it out when the person is 21 or 25 or 30 so they won't blow the money on a car or other things.
The 17 year old doesn't fight back either.

Only the state can pursue charges. It will be up to the prosecutor's office as to whether or not charges will be pursued.

Probably not. Was the child asked any questions? Did the child say anything incriminating?
