What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
I have a close family friend, let's call her Girl A, who is a minor. Girl A was threatened by Girl B, and they had a physical altercation. Girl B called the police and claimed that Girl A assaulted her, Girl A was charged with Misdemeanor Assault, and Girl A served a 60 day juvenile detention sentence, and is currently on a court ordered ankle monitor, and is only allowed to go to school, her home, and her job. Girl B has filed a restraining order against Girl A.

THE PROBLEM:
Girl B is threatening Girl A over the phone and through text messages. Girl B is trying to find out information about Girl A, and Girl B has obtained the phone numbers of Girl A's younger siblings, and Girl B is threatening them as well. Girl B has found out about Girl A's new job, and Girl B went to Girl A's work today, and threatened Girl A in front of her employer. Girl A has gone to the police station, and the police are telling her to just ignore it. How can I help Girl A and her family stay safe, and possibly file harassment charges against Girl B.

Girl A can report the harassing emails, calls, and texts to the police as violating PC 653m. Girl A can be arrested if she chooses to reply to any of them as she could be in violation of any existing Civil Harassment order. And, if the harassment is placing her at fear for her safety, then Girl A can seek a civil harassment order against Girl B, too.

Both these girls need to grow up and simply leave each other alone.
