What is the consent part of it

The child wanted to go to her boyfriends house. The boyfriend tells her that as long as her parents don't file charges then it's okay. The child says her parents won't. Could this be used as a consent defense in a dvro hearing
In California, a minor's consent may not be legally valid depending on the circumstances. Also, a DVRO is usually filed for protection from abuse or threats, so consent can be complex. Consultation with a local attorney is recommended.
