My son was in class and a boy punched him in the arm very hard 3 times. My son felt he had to defend himself and punched the boy in the jaw. The boy didn't bleed or have any mouth wounds. My son just happened to strike him there without really thinking about it.
Well both were sent to the office, my son is now suspended for 3 days, Havre police was called and he was given a summons for assault, and now he has to do some sort of community service as well.
The other boy who started the whole thing.... walked away with no sort of punishment!!
I took pictures of my son's arm where there is a dark 1" in diameter bruising on his arm where he was struck at.
Something tells me that my son was wrongfully treated by the school staff.
I see it as him simply "defending" himself. Am I wrong in thinking this? Please ANY advice would be greatly appreciated!!
