Yes, as a police officer it was my place to gather evidence both for and against a crime and if there is adequate to charge (this is the term used to libel the broken law against her, it isn't necessarily a fine).

All the information gets passed to the court.

This means it is up to a court to decide if she is guilty of an offense. The offense in question being neglecting her child. The court may decide to put supports in place, such as social work.
