Answer: (1)
Bullying is a serious charge that brings with it potential criminal penalties including incarceration. You should contact a criminal law attorney as soon as possible. Your attorney can help you take steps to prove that your son was falsely accused of bullying, including helping you to find witnesses that can attest to what really occurred and helping you to review the information the prosecution has in making their claim so you will know what evidence you need to rebut. In addition, you should be aware that someone making a false accusation of bullying can be found liable of slander, and you should consider potentially taking legal action against your son’s accusers if you are confident the claims are unfounded.
