Is petty theft a felony with a minor?
Private individuals do not make the decision about whether or not criminal charges will be made against another individual. The police and prosecuting authority makes this decision. If you would like for the state to consider criminal charges against another individual, you should report the crime to the police. Any person can make a police report. Furthermore, if there is sufficient evidence that warrants an arrest on an individual, a judge will issue a warrant and the person accused of the crime will be arrested. But, going back to the original question even if there is enough evidence and you happen to be the main witness and the person pressing for this person to be prosecuted, it does not mean they are going to be prosecuted merely on your say so.
