I think the point is that law enforcement can only respond when there is a victim who will testify against the perpetrator (or eye witnesses and other evidence). When mom says Go away, law enforcement goes away. No charges were filed. It was deemed a domestic incident and there are far more of those that do NOT result in charges than those who DO.

I don't think that's right, although red flag laws vary across the states. In FL, the police just need to provide evidence that there is a risk.
