Re: Juvenile fight
Well, that's the law of unintended consequences, isn't it!
Well, chances are what happened is that the police interviewed the second boy and got a radically different story than your son told you. Surely, that's not a surprise.
What you CAN do is sit down with the boy and your son and his parents and mediate the dispute such that if everything turns out fine, the police case will be dropped. The court might go along with a mediation request in this situation, if she thinks it is an overblown charge resulting from a fight between "kids."
