In most legal systems, a minor under the age of 18 typically requires parental consent to file charges or take legal action. However, in some cases where a minor is considered to be emancipated or legally recognized as an adult, they may be able to file charges without parental consent. It is important to consult with a legal professional or local authorities to understand the specific laws and regulations governing minors filing charges in your jurisdiction.

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.


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???)
