Kodak, TN asked in Personal Injury and Criminal Law for Tennessee

Q: My son was face punched by another student on the bus. The school advised that it wasn't assault, due to no injuries???

This boy had tried to pick a fight with my son at school, earlier in the day. My son told this boy that he didn't want to fight him. But apparently the boy couldn't let it go, so he sucker punched my son in the face while he was exiting the bus.

The boy that hit my son received one week of in school suspension, and will be back on the same bus with my son after his one week suspension.
