What is the name of your state? New Jersey
My 13 year old son and four of his friends were in the woods around our block. It seems that while my son did light a leaf and put it out, his friends also lite a bunch of things. My son wasn't the first to light something and also wasn't the one that brought the matches. I believe they did put everything out, but the fire squad was called. Later, officers went to one of the boys home. I received a call that I need to accompany my son to the police station tomorrow. The officer would not discuss anything about it on the phone but said that I needed to complete paperwork and be read rights. My son is a really good kid and knows he made a mistake. It's his first time ever in trouble with the law. What should I expect??
