Contributing to the delinquency of a minor

[jdmdzk]

My kid has a friend who tragically OD'd at another family's house 4 months ago. No charges have been filed by the Tulsa DA. However, the parents of the deceased young man are confident that the parents of the home, where thier child past away, were contributing to the delinquency of a minor. I definitly agree but, again, no charges have been filed. Now... the parents of the deceased minor are asking other kids, to include my kid, to write and sign statements about the situation and provide them to a private investigator. My wife and I want to help the other family anyway we can but are uncomfortable about our child producing such a a statement. It seems to us that if the Tulsa DA thought he could go after the other parents (which are low lifes) he would have. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

criminal proceedings and civil proceedings are very different. It is well possible that civil claims are possible where criminal charges seem difficult.
