Define "file charges." Individuals can NOT file charges, they can only make REPORTS of a criminal incident to the police. You ARE old enough to make a police report, however, unless you have been granted legal emanciopation in your state, you are not yet of "legally sufficient" age to bring a civil lawsuit against anyone on your own behalf.

Can a parent press assault charges for their teenager if the teenager doesn't give them consent?

They can try. Without your cooperation it may not get far.Added: FIrst of all, INDIVIDUALS can NOT PRESS CHARGES! They can only file complaints with law enforcement. Then the prosecutor's office PRESSES charges. It may also depend greatly on just what type of "Assault" the question is referring to. (SIMPLE Assault - ASSAULT and Battery - SEXUAL Assault???)


Can a parent file charges for serious bodily injury to their 18 year old son or daughter?

Individuals may file 'complaints' or 'report' offenses, but only law enforcement can bring "charges." An 18 year old is legally an adult. Is the 18 year old cooperative in this endeavor? If the victim is unable to file a report, the parent(s) may file it on behalf of their child against whoever, or whatever, injured them. However, the child (as a legally sentient adult) must agree to actively assist in the investigation and prosecution of the incident. As a purely practical matter, without the cooperation of the victim/complainant the whole endeavor becomes moot.
