[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP people are being mean as usual. You don’t really know what happened but you will find out when you get there. I feel for your son. I’m very sorry you are going through this. [/quote]

You might want to bring it up in university court.  It sounds like the other kid used excessive force and needs counseling, at the very last, to control his temper.  I would suggest suspension.  No words or actions necessitate breaking someone's jaw. Have you talked to a lawyer in that geographical area yet?  Might be worth getting a couple of legal opinions.  You do not want that other kid thinking it is okay to break people's jaws - his parents failed him. If he thinks he can break people's jaws, what could possibly be next.  He needs help. This isn't preschool, it's college - you don't go around beating people up. [/quote]

This +1000.  Incident should be handled by school's admin structure (RA, dean of students, uni court).  Whatever your son's role in this, it does seem like the other kid's reaction was over the top.  And 18 yo boys do very stupid things.  Go see your son.  Help him with medical appointments, etc.  Broken jaws are no fun (I broke mine at 15 after falling off a bike); depending on the treaments used, he may have limited ability to talk and to eat.  Make sure he can find liquid and soft foods.  
Good luck.[/quote]

Just imagining as the mother of daughters, what would likely happen if some 18 year old guy kept touching my daughter on any part of her body and she punched him then got brought up to J board. Trust me, I’d have 509+ female protestors outside that hearing. People of any gender have a right to not be touched against their will. OP’s son needs to learn boundaries and consent. Better now than when fired from his first real job or banned from his apartment building. [/quote]
