My question is in California: I have a 25 yrs old nephew who have a background of using drugs and alchohol. He is always angry saying "F" words to elders and no respect or what so ever including his mom. Were celebrating my moms Mothers Day and show up late and as usual came with attitude saying his famous "F" words again in front of me and I have enough of his so I confronted him and almost run into fight. I did throw my hand of him to slap his face to give him a lesson but I just got a little bit only in his side of the forehead. Me and my wife left to avoid it getting worse.
When we got home his sister told my son that he will file a complain againts me for assulting him. Let say he will do complain since he is not in the right mind even thou I am the one sponsored their family so they can come to USA from the other country, what will happen then? What is the procedure and how do I depend from this crazy nephew? Is my action consider as assault or family matter? Worse come to worse how bad this will end up with?
