Legal Question in Workers Comp in Pennsylvania
My daughter is 16 and has been dating a boy for 2 years he is 18. He mentally abuses her and I suspect to hits her from the bruises she has but she says she has no idea what it is from. His Mother has let my daughter drink at her house until she pasted out with no consent from me i do not allow her to drink. I have asked both of them to stay away from her and do not contact her. They will not listen they continue to do so. What can i do?

I am sorry to hear what is happening to your daughter. If her boyfriend is hitting her and he and his mother are giving your daughter alcohol, then you should report this to the police. It will be difficult to prosecute them without your daughter's testimony which, I am sure, she is reluctant to give. You should make an appointment to speak with someone in the District Attorney's office about getting a Protection from Abuse Order ("PFA"). Then, if they violate the PFA, you can go to Court and ask the Judge to hold both the boyfriend and his mother in Contempt of Court which is punishable with jail time for those who violated the PFA Order.
Best of luck,
