Is it possible for a family to press charges on a single child out of a group just for being suspected (by mere rumors) of vandalizing their house before?
You can make a report to the police, who will forward it to the prosecuting attorney, who decides whether to file charges or not. As rumors are not evidence, if there is nothing more the prosecutor will not pursue it. There is no private criminal prosecution in the U.S.
in basic terms seeing the motor vehicle won't be sufficient, You or somebody else has to might desire to definitely see her whilst she did it. in case you filed a checklist, call the officer who took the checklist and supply him the names, addresses and contact numbers of persons who observed the progression.
yes, it happend to my car (only this was no child but a teen) I knew his mother and would never suspect him... but someone said they saw him and after a couple of days he admitted vandalizing my car and also twice before. Sometimes they look innocent but inside they are BAD.
Pressing Charges For Vandalism
You can always press charges, but unless there's proof the DA won't actually file any charges. I could file charges against you for vandalizing my house if I heard you where seen by it, but unless I have someone that saw you in the house, saw you in the act, or had a photo of you doing the action the DA is going to dismiss for lack of evidence.
