son assaulted by five individuals, simple assault?

[rich mcgrath]

What is the name of your state?New Jersey Hoping someone can tell me appropriate charges for following assault. recently as my 15 yr old son left school he engaged in a fight with another boy . NO PROBLEM!

Other boy and his three friends who witnessed fight get into a fifth persons car, this person is a 19 year old male. son goes a different direction to go home thinking incident is over.

Upon reaching a location approximately 1/4 mile from first incident son is surprised to be attacked by all five actors with no chance of self defense he is punched, tripped, kicked repeatedly in the face, back, ribs,and arms by all five individuals until an aquaintance and passersby could erradicate him from his situation. The actors then fled the scene in the car with the adult whom took party in the assault and transported said people to both incidents.

Some of my son,s teeth were broken and broken out, he has numerous boot marks to his back and ribs, he is having problems raising his arm because of pain in his shoulder, several knots on his head and some facial swelling i wouldnt call severe but almost.

Police and school investigated incident. Police did not press charges on any of the individuals or run cch on the juveniles to see if any are impact offenders.THey did however ALLOW me to sign simple assault complaints against the juveniles.

Court clerk typed the adult complaint and did review law book and cite aggravated assault for that individual. Police still will not arrest the adult stating my son was not hurt bad enough for aggravated.

My son will now require at least 4 more procedures to fix and rebuild his teeth, and is mad at me for calling the police and is now scared of retalliation for being a rat.

I beleive that this assault was certainly aggravated and should have been charged that way and i beleive other charges are warranted, such as acting in concert, conspiracy.

The attorney generals directive to juvenile officers has not been followed, i have a copy.

And these individuals have now threatened me personally and to beat my son again. Still no arrests but they again let me sign a harrasment complaint.

Would someone with real knowledge in this area please help me make sense of it and tell me how if at all i can take this to a place where it should be THANK YOU , RICH

Do you have any way of determining if the person you want arrested has close ties to a police officer?

No, but i will find out. I do know that one or more is a school athlete and during the investigation[lol] the important part of 2 witnesses testimony was omitted by school officials assisting in the fact finding[ colored boys, predominately white community]. Am getting a quick education in the nj criminal and juvenile system. Still would appreciate any real help . Thanks , rich

Rich, this is a volunteer board. Everyone who posts here does it on their own time. Operators are not standing by 24/7 to answer your calls. You posted on a weekend when most of the regulars are off doing their own things.

Now that we're back in the regular workweek, you'll be much more likely to get responses. Have patience, okay?

 

[ENASNI]

ok

The attorney generals directive to juvenile officers has not been followed, i have a copy.

Tell me what you mean by this?

You have harrasment charges filed against the adults, correct.

Also try for a restraining order, because of the threats.

Have you tried to speak to an attorney about this, there might be a civil case so you can get damages for the medical bills.

I do know you are trying to get justice against the people who hurt your son, it sounds like you are hitting brick walls.

Sometimes media attention helps.

Yes, i certainly do understand. I would just really like someone help me make sense of the juvenile justice system in nj. They run off at the lips about prevention and do nothing preventative. Unless you are selling dope, pu**y, or murdering someone thats okay. Next time maybe they kill my son and i can be as famous as megan,s mom. Very frustrated. The police will not charge everything they are able to so there is anything to even drop or bargain with when these little sh*ts lawyer up. Thanks , rich

Nothing is stopping you from hiring a local attorney to represent your/your son's interests if the answers you receive here are not to your liking.

Dear cbg, I think you misunderstand. I am not 1 iota ungrateful or sarcastic with my response if you took it that way im sorry ,unfortunately for myself when others cannot see or hear when people are speaking things may be taken the wrong way. Any light that could be shed on this by anyone is greatly appreciated. again thanks , rich

 

[cbg]

That goes both ways, Rich; I didn't mean it the way you evidently thought either.

What I meant was, you've made it clear, and not unreasonably, that you are looking for someone with real experience in the NJ juvenile system, and I'm not certain that any of the regulars has the kind of experience you're looking for.

In that case, you might be better off talking to someone locally who would have specific experience in the necessary systems.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

What i mean is i have obtained a copy of this executive directive and the procedures as juveniles are concerned . My local police department does not seem to have ever read this document or manual shall i say because the steps that it prescribes have not and are still not being followed. Roughly ten individual statutes of the nj criminal code were violated during the commission of this crime and if this assault were against a police officer whom carries a weapon and is trained to defend himself there would be to many charges to read . I as a father would be in jail right now if my son assaulted me and i whipped his *ss and if i cant beat him then neither should anyone else be given the privelage to do so with no concern for punishment. Hell if you kick a police dog in this state you WILL GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL. This i know, someone in jail whom i knew in a previous life. rich

When did this occur?

 

[rich mcgrath]

When did this occur?

This occurred on thursday the 10th @ approximately 2;30 in the afternoon. Did not see a cop until roughly 7:00 pm in the hospital. All to busy writing traffic tickets and generating income not to use on law enforcement i guess. Juveniles or adult alike have not been interviewed as of this time. Something must be much more important than real police work. Why did you ask when this occurred?

So that's just a few days ago, with a weekend in between. It's entirely likely that they're still working on it.
