More details to this question:
Stepdaughter’s mother attacked me in front of my stepdaughter who is eight. She has been found guilty of aggravated assault and battery. I do have a standing VPO out on her which she has violated twice already. There is so much more to it but this is the summary.

Same way everyone does. You call the police. You tell them you want to report a crime. You tell them what happened. You confirm you will sign off the complaint and be available as a witness if a charge is filed by the government. Citizens ask for charges to be brought, but the final decision rests with others. If there is an existing protective order and you allege it has been violated, it will be treated seriously. If you feel your report is not being treated seriously, ask for the responding officer's supervisor. If you want to sue your relative for any damages you have suffered, hire civil counsel of your choice.
