    It's not necessarily up to him to press charges is it? The police can press charges with or without your son's co-operation if they think a criminal act has taken place and have evidence (such as cctv) to support it.
    This is correct - he doesn't have to "press charges" and it doesn't have to be him who reports it . The poor lad probably isn't the best person to make the decision - maybe you need to take control for him and just report what happened, the police will take it from there. All information helps to build a picture and these types of actions tend to be cumulative.
    Enormous sympathy to you and your son, countrygal. I also have teenaged sons - one of whom is a goth and so a target for the mindless idiots who pick on anyone different to themselves. :mad:
    No relaxing in this house until they're all in of a night!

    How's your son feeling now countrygal? What did you decide to do?
