[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 741618, member: 18958"] Of course she should guard against future crimes. That goes without saying. However in my state I think this would be a crime: [I](Penal Code) prohibits “drawing, exhibiting, or using a firearm or deadly weapon” This offense is commonly referred to as "[B]brandishing[/B]" a weapon.[/I] It is also domestic violence. Much if not the majority of domestic violence is hidden. Victims are not expected to be severely wounded or dead in order to get legal protection. This mother was a victim both of her son, and of the police. Yes. The police re-offended her. I support her to continue to advocate for herself in regards to what already happened, as well as to protect herself. I think the suggestions by TL that she contact domestic violence agencies, contact the police again (there should be a domestic violence representative) and to contact the district attorney's office are worth listening to. The crime has already been committed, I think. [/QUOTE]
