Judge Tom
The school could choose to discipline him through the school by imposing a consequence like detention, in-school or out of school suspension. He most likely will be required to pay for any damage caused. If the administrators decide to report the incident to the police, then your son may have to go to court over the matter. If he has no criminal record, it’s possible that he could be offered a diversion program and given the chance to avoid a record upon successful completion of the program. Good luck to him.
