No. Private citizens do not make or "press" criminal charges, regardless of age.
If someone believes a crime has been committed, they may report the crime to the police. If there is sufficient evidence, the state, through the prosecuting attorney, will file criminal charges.
Additional: You do not have legal "standing" to complain about something that happened to another adult inidividual. If your chld is OVER the age of emancipation in your state you may not act for them unless, by means of court action, they have been made your ward due to medical or mental issues.

Can parents press charges on a 19 year old for seeing a 16 year old in South Carolina?
No, because the legal age of consent for sex is 16. If a 15 year old, for example, was having sex with a 19 year old, then you could press charges. If the 16 year old wants no contact with the 19 year old yet that older person refuses, then you can look into a restraining order.
Can the parents of the 18 year old girl press charges against her for dating a 15 year old?
In most places, parents cannot press charges for their child dating someone younger. However, depending on the age of consent laws in their state or country, the 15-year-old's parents could potentially press charges for statutory rape. It's important for all parties involved to be aware of and follow the laws in their jurisdiction.

Can a 20 year girl date a 13 teen year old boy?
You can if you want the parents of the 13 year old to press charges. If the parents press charges you could be arrested. It is also against the law of many countries to get involved into anything sexually until at least the age of 16 (London, Great Britain). If you plan for this to be long term, you may have to talk to him as well as his parents, who I suspect do not know.
If a 15-year-old girl in Georgia is pregnant and her boyfriend is 18-years-old would he get arrested if her parents did not press charges?
He could be brought on criminal charges. Once someone breaks the law, it isn't necessarily the parents that have to decide whether or not to press charges. The prosecutor makes the decision. And parents cannot 'allow' someone to break the law. He could if the wrong person finds out about it like the police. If the parents of the 15 year old don't press charges then maybe he won't get caught. I don't know what the law is in Georgia but it may be possible for him to marry the girl then it will be legal but she would need the parents consent.
