[QUOTE="Stef, post: 251776, member: 6657"] Wow- your story brings back similar memories to what happened to us last summer. I too received a knock on the door from some police officers regarding my sons behavior with a group of other boys. Quite a scary situation. My son didn't fare as well though. He was eventually charged with Aggravated Battery, plead to a reduced misdemeanor charge, cooperated, and was sentenced to a year of court supervision c/o sixty hours community service, get a job, attended classes for making better decisions, private counseling, mental evaluation, drug testing, home visits, etc. That doesn't include the lawyer's fee's we had to pay to get his butt out of trouble. Believe me- it ain't cheap. The thing is, and I don't mean to scare you, it's not up to the other party involved as to whether or not charges are filed against your son. My son wasn't charged for almost 2 months after the incident. We thought it was over- it wasn't. The cops said basically the same thing they said to you. The cops will present what they have to the States Attorney, and THEY decide whether to press the case. Just- be prepared. You might even want to talk to a lawyer now -just in case. [/QUOTE]
