Good Afternoon Gentelmen,
I have rather a big dilema. Last night a friend of mine went home and was assaulted by her mother. She struck and broke her mothers nose in self defense. She is 18, so she isn't a minor here in Tx. This isn't the first time this has happened, and if she dosent call the police for assault, I will be doing it for her very soon. This has gone on long enough.
However,
She forgot to pay a traffic ticket, and she wants to call the police, but is scared to because she dosen't want to go to jail. If she calls the police, and they come for the assault report, will the run her ID and stuff to see if she has any warrants out for her(as she might being that she didnt show to court)?
I really wanna show her mom that you can't simply treat people like this, BUT, I don't wanna send her to jail either. Yes, she was irresponsible and should of taken care of the citation like everyone else does, but I don't wanna send this girl to jail.
What can I do? I'm not gonna go over there and tell her mom that I will break her legs if she touches her daughter again.
What would the charge be? Assault with bodily injury or what? Her mom was assaulting her and she hit back in self defense.
Two years ago I was involved in an altercation at a movie theatre. A guy that I had a long time problem with came up and hit me in the back of the head. I preceded to hit him and knocked out 2 of his teeth, but the LOE told me that it was self defense, so I wouldnt have any charges pressed.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
