My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Texas
I have a neighbor with a 10 y/o son who was attacked for walking on another neighbors lawn. This happened 01-2006.
The mother took pictures of bruises and marks on childs neck , police were called but nothing done (harris county,houston) they were afraid to press charges due to fear of retaliation.
The person who attacked the child was a 55 y/o man.
Can charges be brought AGAINST HIMor can anyone file on behalf of the child other than the parents or can CPS be brought in?
