We have talked to the parents and their position is that there son was scared and has a right to defend himself. They also acknowledged that my son has not bullied their son, but said that as a leader and someone who the boys in the grade look up to, he should be their son’s advocate.
Discussion
ok, so it seems like his parents & the school are positioning him as the victim even after he has credibly threatened severe violence to your son?
if that is indeed the case, I would escalate to LE. if nothing else, it creates a legal paper trail, and puts liability on his parents.
i really hope things turn around and/or this kid is dealt with appropriately.
