It's unbelievable. My son was suckered into going over to a girl's house last night - she called him and invited him over - where six guys beat the hell out of the kid by kicking him and hitting him with those flexible collapsible metal batons. We called the cops, and basically since it happened at her house it's his word against all of theirs about what happened.

Never mind the kid's beaten to a pulp and they kicked him in the eye so hard they actually broke the eye socket - they told the cop that they asked him to leave and he wouldn't so ONE of them hit him. I asked the cop if it really looked like one guy beat the kid up, and his answer was "it could've been".

To make matters worse, my son's a recovering head injury patient with residual weakness in his left arm to the point that there's no way he could even defend himself against ONE of them, never mind six.

I have no idea WHAT to do now, but it is just incredible that they're going to walk away free and clear on this.

EDIT: I'm off to bed....It's been one heck of a long night. Hopefully some of you guys'll think about YOUR friends a little more carefully and not have to learn the hard way. 🙁

Night all.

 
ohmigosh. i hope your son will heal. What you need to do is attend to your son first. then seek legal advice. did this happen inside or outside their house? there might have been witnesses, neighbors etc.

I will keep your son in my prayers.
 
Call the phone company, and immediately get transcripts for evidence. Also find an attorney who will take the case on a contingent fee. Best of all, you need to sit down with your family, while the situation is fresh and get down on paper, exactly what happened, to the best of recollection, with as many names, times, and places as possible. Anything people said that sticks out should also be written down. Your child could have needs for ongoing medical treatment for years to come. That is why it is important to get a good attorney!!!

 

Thanks, BiggieN. He'll heal. And he learned a valuable but expensive lesson about choosing friends more carefully. Unfortunately it happened inside her house where the only witnesses are the people who beat him. 🙁

I intend to contact a lawyer, and the hospital took pictures so I'm still thinking about pressing charges even though the cop as much as said it's pointless.


Great advice, compuwiz! I intend to do that as soon as possible.

He's 17. The ringleader was 19. Unfortunately in NC both are considered adults legally.
 
I'm speechless, unxpurg8d. What an awful, horrible thing to have happen. I sincerely hope your son is going to be okay (physically and mentally - this had to really freak him out) and that these punk snots get punished. I agree with all of the advice here, find a lawyer, file a complaint with the police department - those kids need to be charged with a crime, and if, in court, it comes down to their word against his and a jury or judge believes them, then at least your son will have brought them to answer for what they did in court.

I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but like compuwiz 1 said, document everything as soon as possible - including any "back" story, like the kids' prior relationships, any trouble those kids might have given someone else - anything your son can remember about them that could potentially help in a lawsuit or criminal case.

I hope you're okay too, unxpurg8d - this has to be one of the most scary things that can happen to a parent. 🙁 I'm just so sorry.

 
Hey bud, if he was the one who refused to leavev, then why didn't they call the cops? Sounds like a conspiracy to me. File charges no matter what. Also file a civil suit as well. Rip these bastards a new arsehole. They should be held accountable for their actions.
 
Take as many pics of him as you can then take those pics to the attorny generals office and state that the PD didn't want to do anything about it.
YOU MUST DO THIS or they will get away with it.
If you need further advice,contact me or Frenchie by PM.
 
What COmpuwiz and Roger have said is good advice. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Pictures, statements, recollections, interviews. Gather as much as you can. Contact a lawyer regarding a civil suit. Try again with your local PD, even going right to the chief if necessary. If that wont do it, try the state police. If that still fails, go directly to the District Attorneys office and then, if necessary, the state attorney general. Even if their story were accurate, their actions were illegal. You may not use physical force to defend the real property of another. Especially since their was no imminent danger of bodily harm to either them or the property owner. The only legal action to take would have been to contact the authorities. Feel free to PM me for any other legal advice. I wont be on again until tomm. nite, however. I HOPE YOU NAIL THESE B@STARDS!
 
oh unex, that is just the worst thing I have heard in a long time! Poor kid. It makes you wonder what makes people do stuff they that... oh yeah, I remember now, those kids are degenerate a$$holes! I hope that the universe sends them one heck of a payback, if you know what I mean.

The guys have some good advice for you here... I'll keep you and your son in my prayers.

Hang in there!
 
As a teenager myself, I can't even imagine why people do these things! Physical violence is something to be ashamed of! Don't we live in a civilized world?

What are the ages of all others involved in this situation? Were they attending the same school? If so, try to get the most information out of other students, teachers, counselers and even the principal, explaining this delicate situation to them.

Your son's physical and mental integrity should be considered top priority! I hope that everything works out the best for you, your family and your son!
 
what a terrible news. i wish your son feels better now and all is well at the end. CRIME PAYS... good thing we have peeps like roger and frenchie at AT
 
Yes, very sorry to hear this.

I agree with compuwiz1 on the documentation. Something tells me those maggots are going to hang themselves when they can't keep their story straight. Once you prove they're lying, go for the gold. Do it carefully and methodically. If you're in the right, there must be a way to bring it to light!

PAYBACK TIME!!! :|
 
unxpurg8d,

There's some excellent advice in this thread...
Please let us know of any progress you have as we are all concerned about how this situation is dealt with by our judicial system.

II hope your son recovers quickly.
 
I agree with Roger!!!

Listen to Frenchie!!!

All the advice I have seen so far has been really good... Especially documenting and going to the state attorneys office...

The important thing is that he is home now and can start healing...

🙂

Good luck!!!
 
Oh jeez that's terrible. I hope you take the advice that has been given previously so that these b*stards can pay for what they've done.

Good luck, and a speedy recovery to your son as well.
 
Document all the evidence as brilliantly stated by several above, and then if they still won't be charged in a criminal court SUE THEIR ASSES OFF.

Or just go straight to the lawsuit (or do both). You need to determine what you and your son feel will bring the most closure and justice to the situation, and then go with it.

Stupid jerks, they should be publicly cained :| :| :|
 
Their actions are illegal, you can not use that kind of physical force to remove someone from private property if they refuse, only legal recourse is to call the police. I would also launch a private lawsuit against the homeowner.
 
And he learned a valuable but expensive lesson about choosing friends more carefully.

Lessons don't come at the hands of your peers & metal batons. The only lesson to be learned here is for the bastards that did it. Make sure you deliver it.
