Hello Starr

It sounds like it has gone to the CPS for a decision to charge or not.

I believe you can ring the CPS directly and ask to speak to the department that deals with 'Youth Crime' if your son is under 18. You could enquire how long they are taking to currently make a decision.

It maybe that CPS don't even have your son's case yet, as what the police say and what is actually the case may not be the same thing. I am only saying this as we were told at one stage it had all gone to CPS, only to find out later it was still sitting on someone's desk at the police station! You will need to contact the CPS for your region which I think you will find on the CPS website.

If it has gone to CPS the timescales for making a decision on whether to charge or not are normally quicker for youths, so hopefully that is a positive.

Hi Starr,

Has your son had another interview? I thought the interview would happen after the devices come back and then to cps for decision...

Hope you're all okay xx

Star ... can't you escalate this? This doesn't sound right when he's a child that you don't know what charges ect? My husband OIC has kept us up to date with what is being sent to the CPS/ possible charges ect. I would try and give them a ring and ask someone to call you?
