    This is a criminal matter and it's right that its reported to your local police force.

    Those funds are not yours and they aren't your husbands - they are legally your sons the moment they land in the account.

    If the PC tries to palm you off as a civil matter, raise a formal complaint. It's fraud and should be investigated. When making the complaint, be sure to request a victims right to review.
    VRR doesn't apply when making the complaint. It only kicks in if refusal to charge, or case later dropped.
