What is the name of your state South Carolina

Hello I hope this is the correct forum for this question, if not please direct to the right place.

I have a ten year old son who was visiting his 25 year old sister. Her 40 year old roommate put a choke hold on my son. These are his exact words..

" mom P****** put me in a choke hold and it made me feel cool and weird"

while he is telling me this he is demonstrating by closing his eyes and moving his body in the way that is appropriate for what he was saying.

After P****** finished the choke hold he asked my son " did you notice I let you breath while doing that"

Would this be considered assault against a child or am I making to much of it.

Thank you in advance

WOW I guess that answers my question !!

This happened a week ago. Honestly I am afraid of what would happen. I have two grandchildren (my daughters) living there also.

So I gather that you are saying that it would assault? Is it to late to press charges now? And how will they handle my son. He already feels it is his fault he told me and his dad. Of course he can not go back to his sisters as long as well I do no not know how long but certainly not while she has roommates I do not know.

Thanks
