My 13-year-old son, who has been diagnosed with ADHD and other issues, was repeatedly hit by a girl at school. In self-defense, he hit her once, causing a broken jaw. The school did not suspend him as they deemed the girl the instigator. Now, the girl's parents want to press charges. What legal steps should I take, and how might his self-defense argument be viewed considering the severity of her injury?
