Congratulations, here in my neck of the woods when there are family members involved we don't call it abuse but a 'Family Squabble' or a Fight between Brothers' at any rate family members usually get inmunity from prosecution and and criminal prosecution by the case being called 'Civilly Matters." We have much work to do !
