That is a question for the court to determine. It is possible that both parents may be held responsible. If there were two kids knocking down the wall, then your son should stop trying to be a tough kid and he should cooperate with the police by informing them who did the damage if he was truly not the one who did it. It is not a sign of his toughness but rather his immaturity and being dumb to accept the responsibility of others. As his father, you may wish to have a man to man talk about this.
