Ultimately, it’s a matter for the police department to handle at this time. They will investigate. Your son is doing what he can be cooperating and offering information. The police will then turn over their investigation to the prosecuting attorney who will decide what to do and whether charges should be filed at all or against one person or all of the minors involved including the older girl. If you want to cover your bases and make sure you are doing everything you can to help your son before any charges are filed, you could consider consulting with a local criminal attorney. Many attorneys offer a free initial consultation. Good luck to your son.
