What is the name of your state? CA
We were leaving a parking stall and this guy was in the middle of the road in a truck. He was going fast and I couldn’t' finish pulling out so he had to go on the wrong side of the road cause I had people behind me not letting me back up more. He got next to our car in his truck and was yelling something I threw up my arms saying "there’s nothing I could have done” and he tossed a sandwich at our car then Alex, my 14yr old son, flipped him off and we left, I thought that was the end because he was going in the opposite direction. We stopped at a store in the opposite part of where we were and the guy I guess flipped a u-turn and followed us. Almost hitting Alex, he pulled into the stall next to our car. He grabbed Alex by the collar of his t-shirt and starts punching him in the face. After I get out of the car and run around it to stop him I have to pull his arm/hand off of holding onto Alex. He had a hold of Alex’s t-shirt collar through his truck window shoving it against Alex while he's holding onto his t-shirt punching him in the face. Alex gets in a couple of throws to him and I grab the hand that was holding onto Alex’s shirt and pull him off of Alex. Then in one fast motion he grabs onto my bra and shirt and goes to clock me! I had to lean back onto my car, mind you, and there’s only a little bit of room in-between the 2 vehicles. He pulls me harder to get me closer, tries to hit me with his truck door, while holding onto me, and reaching to hit me. I pushed the door hard enough to make him let go of me but my shirt ripped and my bra ripped. After I got that guy's hand off of Alex he hit him once more and Alex fell back and my keys went flying, Alex got the keys and I pushed him towards the store and the guy backs his truck back to hit us with it! Then we got to the phone and called the police. Alex has a 1in x 1/4in scratch on his cheek by his nose. AND a small goose egg on his right cheek bone. He got a welt that went away from him being hit with the door. The police said that since Alex touched this guy, he hit him 2 times, trying to stop this guy from hitting him; he (the guy 49yrs old!!) is going to prosecute. If I didn’t press charges he, in turn wouldn’t. He also said that if I pressed charges, EVERYONE could end up in jail by the end of the night. I asked him about a TRO and he said id have to wait till the report was done in 10days. The whole time I’m talking to the fire department, and the police, I have to hold myself up cause my bra is ripped and my shirt is also! The officer wasn't careful with our addresses and I saw where he lives and he knows where we do. He lives 1/4 of a mile away from us. I'm trying to get a TRO against him. I was at the courthouse all morning Wednesday. This happened this last Tuesday. I am pressing charges. I talked to the officer’s sergeant and he said that the officer DID follow procedure but he would talk to him. SOMETHING doesn’t sound right! This guy punched my 14yr old son in the face many times and admitted to it and admitted to trying to hit me! I’m waiting for them to serve the guy with the TRO and in the meantime, we are at a hotel! I'm a single mother of 2. I’m so drained from everything and the lack of help the police have been. It’s like everyone is trying to cover his or her butts! I just want this guy to pay for what he did to my son. Yes my son shouldn’t’ have flipped this guy off, in fact I was talking to him about it a second before the guy pulled up and started hitting him. I don’t know where to go or what to do so any advice is more than welcome! Thanks in advance!
