You can contact the police. Assaults between juveniles are still against the law but it will likely be driven by the injury to your child. Was he take him to the doctor? Are there pictures of injuries?

It depends if it is a felony or misdemeanor. There can be multiple pre-trial conferences before trial. The number depends on the Judge, prosecutor and charges. If there is a plea of guilty or dismissal there will not be anymore pretrial conference but their could be future court dates.
