What is the name of your state? California
Incident:
My son 14 years old, and two other boys are talking in the back of the class room. There is no argument or fights at this time. My son tells his friend Jimmy, "don't tell Jason about our other business". (what he meant by this was personal business). Then there was some words exchanged (not remembered by any of the boys) ending up with my son telling this boy, "I'll send you home in a pine box". (My son had been watching a lot of western movies).
My sons is escorted up to the office the following school day and searched for drugs and questioned by the police and school. The incident was not an important one in his mind so he has few details to give the officer and school, BUT admits to them that he said those things but can't remember why.
The three of these boys are still friends and civil to one another in school. They don't understand why this is taking place. I don't either. We have found out that the other boy Jason, works as a Narc for the police department. And "he", Jason, felt that the statement mentioned above might have meant my son was in the drug business and would kill him if he told.
My son does not sell, take or distribute drugs! (not just a mother talking). Everyone including the officer and school thought this was over.
Now we have been served with a ticket to appear in court for, a, "422 P.C. Terrorist Threats".
My Questions:
1. What is a terrorist threat ? And how does what I mentioned above fit this?
2. We don't have money for an attorney, will be really need one?
3. How far can they go with this?
4. Doesn't this all sound ridiculous? We are taking something really out of context i believe.
5. I have been told by others to be careful about CPS thinking my son has bad parents now. Is this true?
Thank you.....
