<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

I talked to him for the first time in 10 years - he's 13, going on 14. I'm 32, and not financially stable enough to care for another person, but there's no mother____ing way I'm leaving him to stay with another family; mostly since I went through the same thing growing up.

I found out today (through him) that his mother - my stepmother - left my father to die. He fell into a coma one night, and she never acted on this issue. She just kept checking his pulse until he was gone. The coroners report cited heart failure, but I suspect this was because of the actions of my stepmother and her failure to act on his condition.

So I guess I have a double sided question - I'm taking the kid, because I wouldn't have it any other way. But what sorts of legal ramifications am I facing if I pursue a charge against her?
<bot>: this once I can figure out what to say since there might be a potential murder involved. I just am...wow, have no idea what to think right now.
