Re: Assault

I'm sorry to hear about your son and hope he is recovering well. You could go to your district/county attorney's office and file a criminal complaint.

You could also consider a civil suit against the school, particularly if school officials had knowledge of the attacker's violent propensities.

You may contact me by email for a free telephone consultation. Good luck!
