Obviously, your son needs the best criminal defense attorney he can afford. The attorney may be able to get the Court to reduce the bond or otherwise make arrangements for some alternative which allows your son to be released from custody pending the disposition of the criminal charges against him. Also, I would suggest that an attorney could and probably should represent you in response to the actions taken by the father of the injured person. It may be that the actions of the father are, in fact violations of the law themselves.
