No. Abduction is a crime against state law, and generally prosecutired as a felony offense. The victim has no choice in the matter of prosecution and is only a witness to the fact that they were, in fact, abducted.
Only the government can.

You cannot drop charges. The state presses and/or drops criminal charges.
Not an underage child.
Not necessarily. The prosecution (The State) does not need the participation of the victim. Furthermore, the victim cannot "drop the charges" since the charges are not brought by the victim. The charges are brought by The State on behalf of the victim - who may or may not wish to participate. Occasionally, at the request of a victim, The State may agree to drop the charges.
if they want to
One way to file assault charges in the state of Virginia is to have police officer come to your home. A person can also visit the local courthouse and press charges there.
Hire a lawyer and refuse to sign anything. Private citizens are not permitted to make or file criminal charges in the US. This is done by the state, through the prosecuting attorneys office. If there is no evidence of a crime, you cannot be convicted.
Yes, in a criminal case, the victim cannot drop charges. The decision to prosecute lies with the state, not the victim. However, the victim can choose not to cooperate with the prosecution, which may impact the case's outcome.
YOU cannot have the charges dropped by yourself. Such an assault is a crime against the state and only the prosecutor can 'drop' the charges. If you are a reluctant 'complaining witness' speak to the prosecutor about your hesitation to go forward.
Assuming these are criminal charges, your parents can't 'drop' them because your parents didn't file them (although they may have filed a police report). The state files criminal charges, because it's a crime against the state, so only the state can drop them. And if the state feels they have sufficient evidence for conviction (if they didn't feel that way, they wouldn't have filed charges in the first place), then they will proceed. They don't need anyone's permission or cooperation to do that.
The questioner has some mis-understanding of the law here. The police do not have the power to pick up or drop charges once they are made. That is up to the prosecutors office.
