It appears that your son is well-adjusted and you know how to handle him.  Other than a "disturbing mood," I do not see any "damages" from your story, i.e., did he have to go to the hospital, does he require more therapy, OR are you the one damaged, OR was there any physical injuries.   In other words, did you have to expend any "out-of-pocket" money for his care and recovery?  If not, then you have no case to be filed in court.  This world is not perfect and things happen which may be no one's fault.  You should be lucky your son was not injured....

The towing companies are usually glad to give you your personal items.  They usually don't have any need for those items and encourages you to pick them up.  If, however, you don't get them back from the towing company and you properly asked for their return, you can file a small claims action if the value is under $10,000.  You will have to prove the value of the contents.  However, before you get too upset, try to get the items back from the towing company.  Good luck!  ...

If you are all co-owners of the property and can't negotiate a solution the best thing to do is file suit for partition. This will force either the sale of the house, or more likely give you and your father the ability to buy out your mother is that is what you are seeking to do. Thanks,Jon... Read More

Yes.  Your use of his passwords likely exceeds the scope of his consent for you to use them.  You need to stop doing this.  If he does file a police report and you are contacted, speak to no one until you speak with a criminal defense attorney.  Do not think you will just be able to talk your way out of it.  Law enforcement is not there to be friends, but to make arrests....
