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.

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.

My parents dropped charges on my 23 year old boyfriend can the distric attorney's still press charges in California?

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.
