You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
Each one of the counts represents a separate offense that the State believes it can prove your son committed. This sounds like a very serious offense. He should obtain the best possible criminal attorney he can possibly get.
