Legal Question in Criminal Law in Louisiana
assault?
My son was hit by his bus driver. The bus driver freely admitted that she lost her temper and hit him. after an investigation, the school has determined all they will do is write her up. However my child will serve in in school suspension for cursing at the driver, after he was hit. (very hard in the back of the head) Should I file crimnial charges against the bus driver, after all she does not have the right to hit the kids on her bus. Would this be considered assault? My child is 17.
