[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if the child is 12 years old and under, they are essentially immune from any type of police action from parents 'pressing charges' in Virginia. Kids who cause a lot of 'trouble' in school with simple assaults and threats can be expelled for a short while and even moved to a different classroom (but not all the time).  Parents only options are to repeatedly make inquiries to the school and the school board and ultimately it's the victims families who have to make a decision to withdraw their own child from that school.

While folks like to say, 'press charges' the reality is, no actual charges will be brought forward for 12 year old and younger. [/quote]

I think only one person said to press charges.  The rest are saying that if adults are not protecting her (and they have been notified already, so everyone acting like "tell the teacher" is new advice is just avoiding the issue), then it's not some kind of vigilanteism for this girl to defend herself from physical assault with a physical retaliation.[/quote]
