Probably not. The rest depends on the facts.
You ask a prosecutor to press charges against the 17 yr old.
The prosecutor would likely tell you to report your allegations to the police, who presumably already know everything you're alleging about the case. Asking the police or prosecutor to charge somebody, though, requires that they believe that there is probable cause that the person committed a crime, and in most cases like this the facts won't support charges against the parents.
