My question involves injury or loss that occurred in the state of: California, Alamenda Co.
I was sexually abused between the ages of 8-11 as a child by my older brother. He was sent to a state mental hospital in his mid-teens after numerous criminal acts (not including the abuse to me) where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder. He is currently living in a half-way house in Utah under 24 hour psychiatric care. My parents have refused to acknowledge or apologize for the abuse that I suffered and have even gone so far as to ban me from family gatherings, so that I won't "stir anything up". I've researched filing criminal charges, but from what I understand, since my brother is already under psychiatric care, not much would come of it; I'm wondering if I can sue my parents for neglect?
