16 Year Old Assaulted By 15 Year Old
5 Answers
My son was assaulted by a 15 year boy who had been under age drinking. It was completely unprovoked. My 16 year old was out with a group of friends when it happened. He has health problems making him more vulnerable. He was punched and kicked and pushed to the ground where he sustained further kicking. His face and nose were bruised and swollen and his shoulder dislocated. What is the likely punishment for this kid? He has done something like this before.
