What is the name of your state? Illinois. My parents were attacked and beaten in their tax office, hospitalizing them. My nephew who was there called the police and then his mother, my sister who then called me. I live about 8 blocks away and arrived before the police. when i arrived the man and his girlfriend ran to their car and before leaving tried to run me over. I then called the police who arrived shortly after they took our names and told us to come up to the police station. They caught the man but told us he was not going to be arrested because they did not witness the attack they then returned the tax papers that the man stole and told us that even though they were sensitive tax papers with names, social security numbers and other information on them that papers have no value so that was not really theft. We were told we could only make a complaint. We do not understand. My parents are both in their 60's and my father is handicapped. The couple are both in their 20's and both of my parents were hospitalized for multiple bruises,head injuries and lots of swelling. we do not understand why the man was not arrested and why we can not press charges?
