What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
My son and some others were heating up a lighter and burning each other, playing around foolishly. He burned another young man on the neck. He was apprehended by the police, and later released into my custody. He was not asked to submit a statement. However, the police did advise me that the other parent was pressing assault/bodily injury charges. I don't know what to expect or what the punishment is for this. This was not done maliciously. My son is friends with the other student. He didn't mean to hurt him.
