Re: about an adult threatening to beat up a minor
I assume that you have made a police report and you believe that the police are not going to act on it.
Your next step would be to go to the County Attorney's office and speak with a prosecutor. he would have the discretion to prosecute if he felt the evidence justified it. He would also have the discretion not to prosecute.
