[Mommy]

So I have a brother with Asperger's Syndrome which is considered to be a form of autism. He is 14 years old and has about the mental and social capacity of a 6 year old...no joke. My brother plays with 2 kids from down the block who are 6 and 10...because well, thats who he gets along with.. he does not know how to interact with kids his age. Some random ass kid from around the block who is 8 years old, comes over to where they are playing and starts picking on the 6 year old that my brother is playing with. My brother tells the kid he needs to go home and quit picking on them. The kid walks over to my brother and starts wacking him with a stick. My brother grabs him by the shirt and tells him to go home. The kid leaves. 10 minutes later the cops show up to arrest my brother for assault on a child under the age of 10, which is a Class C Felony... meaning that he could serve time in Juvie or be sent to a mental retardation facility. The cop is a real ass even when my mom is telling him that my brother has a mental disorder that is documented with the state because he is in special needs classes. Finally, the kid's mom says that she is going to hold off on pressing charges this time, but if it happens again she will. My brother's two friends told the exact same story to the police officer as my brother did, meaning that he was just protecting himself and those two kids. The police officer told my mom that had the lady wanted to press charges, my brother would be going to jail.... no questions asked

Is that bullshit or what? Apparently, if anyone over the age of 10 touches another kid under the age of 10, regardless of circumstances, the older kid could go to jail if the guardian of the younger kid decides to press charges....this is regardless of who starts it.

I think that is a little ridiculous if you ask me.
