My 10 year old son was at his bustop and was having an "argument" at his bustop with an 11 year old boy. It was a carryover argument from the day prior but there was no physical activity between the two boys. A 13 year old boy, the oldest of all the boys, was not even involved in the "argument" and was in fact standing about 15 feet away. He came out or nowhere and pushed my son with his forearm, knocking my son to the ground. My son received multiple cuts on the back of his head as it was a gravel driveway with jagged rocks. All the kids right away started trying to tell my son to say that he fell and to say that the other boy didn't do it. (Everyone has since admitted that he was pushed) There was tons of blood and paramedics and the police were called. We have pressed charges against the boy and he will be charged with battery.
The dilemma is this.... The boys stepfather has claimed, first, that his kid didn't do it. He was uncooperative with police and it is in the police report that he denied his son's involvement. The contents of the police report are clearly in our favor.
Then, he said that his kid gently touched my son and he tripped over a board and hit his head. That didn't happen as they were in the middle of the driveway and they weren't near any boards.
NOW, he says that his son was being a good samaritan and was protecting the 11 year old boy from my son. He claims that my son was about to hit him and he "sprang" in the nick of time and pushed my son before he could land the punch.
The guy has refused to admit any wrongdoing at this point. He has threatened to "see us in court" and he is claiming that they are the victims. He has hired an attorney and flatout refuses to pay our $366 emergency room bill.
Does anyone have a take on this? Where have we gone wrong here? the boy did it...was unprovoked...admitted to it...and he wants to see us in court.......what's wrong with this picture?
