How could I go about dropping a contact assault charge on my mom? I was upset under pressure and more to it.

Question

My mom and stepdad got into a fight the previous day and so he told me to run away. I went to a friends house and then called my mom to come get me. She was so upset that while we were at WalMart she was calling all these places to get me to go like Kingwood Pines, Intracare, and Cypress Creek to help me with my emotions. I just didn't want to go so I kicked out my screen of the window of my room and ran away. My step day had messed my mom up pretty pad she was in a cast and a lot of bruises on the other arm too. But I still told the cops that she tried to strangle me! She is a teacher and all she was doing was trying to get my attention by grabbing my head and looking in my face telling me to not say those terrible words I was calling her. Sooooo CPS got called that night. I didn't have any blood relatives to come get me that were sober, so my mom's ex came up because my step dad called him and he was able to take me all the way to fort worth. But then wanted me gone the following weekend so he could move his "new" family in. I hate him. I don't know why I did it,,,I mean pressing charges and getting CPS involved its a lot of stress on my mom who really doesn't need it right now and I don't know what to do. I do want to stay here. We even went to see Batman tonight together,

Answer 1

You need to call CPS and whoever is going to be assigned to you or your mom and tell them the truth. Your mom needs you now, she is dealing with an awful lot and it sounds like most of the problems are not from YOU, so you need to be there for her and protect her... she may lose her teaching job if you don't.

I know you will stand up and be a man! Just do it and tell them what you just told us! Good luck to you and mom!

Answer 2

If you are being genuine and truthful, you can request that you decline to have charges filed against mom and explain the circumstances to the police that you've mentioned here.

Judging from what you've said, if it is true, I would strongly suggest this as the best course of action.

Answer 3

In most states NO matter what you do they state will pick up the charges. You need to go to court and explain to the judge what really happened that night. With any luck you and your Mom can get away from the man that beat your Mom and told you to run away. Obviously he is not a very good person for you and your Mom if he is going to beat her and condone you to run away.

Answer 4

What you did is called "filing a false police report".  That is a midemeanor, and you will most likely be punished because of it.  

What you need to do is go talk to the circut clerks office.  They'll help you get things settled out from here.

There is no excuse for what you did to your own mother who was trying to protect you.  All this tells me is that you are no better than your stepdad.  You should be ashamed of yourself, and hopefully you'll learn something out of this whole experience.

Answer 5

go back to the police and say you dont want to take it further.

you dont have to go to court no one can make you do it. so i guess  the (CPS) crown prosecution service will drop the case and take no further action against your mum.

but being a teacher this allegation may still be logged against her name and it may affect her career in teaching.

thats why you should always think before you act. i always say to people anger is the work of the devil.

Answer 6

You just be honest and tell them the truth. That's all.
