is it  to much trouble to file a character assassination law suit against a minor?
536708
Yes, but it depends on the actual offense.\n\nIf the character assination is something that could cost you your freedom or lively hood such as being accused adn arrested for child porn, child abuse, drugs, any felonty really. \n\nDepending on where the court is the parents will just recieve a slap on the hand, or a small amount of damages. Since you cant sue a minor but their guardians.\n\nBut if you want to set an example and you have a strong case then it may be the thing the minor needs to get their life right. \n\nGood Luck!

Can you sue?  Sure, frivolous lawsuits are filed every day. \n\nDo you have a legal remedy?  Maybe.  Probably not against the child who perpetrated the act; a 5 year old is too young to form intent and can't be sued.\n\nThe parents? Maybe if a statutory remedy exists in your state.\n\nThe school?  There are issues of immunity and proof of negligence.\n\nAll in all, a "split ear" doesn't sound like a serious injury. It probably will not result in much in monetary damages unless surgery or revision is required, or a disfigurement exists.\n\nIf you are looking to have the medicals paid - call the parents. If you want damages, call an AV rated Personal Injury attorney in your area.

There are too many unknown variables here to give you a really accurate answer.  However, the citizenship of a person who commits a crime in California is not an issue unless diplomatic immunity is involved.  It does not matter that someone who is committing a crime is not a citizen of this country or state; they are here, and they are subject to the laws of the state they are in while they are here.\n\nSo what you really want to know is "what happens to someone in California who makes death threats to someone else in California?"\n\nAnd the answer to that one is easy:\n\nNothing, all the way up to prison for several years.\n\nWithout having the facts of the incident, it's just not possible to know what the probable outcome of the case would be.  Also, people tend to overreact when it comes to "death threats" and what they really are.  I've had people tell me that, "I'll be looking for you at the bar tonight," is a death threat.  In California, it just ain't so.  If you're interested, you can review Penal Code section 422 at the link below.  It will define what a death threat is in this state.\n\nHope this helps...but forget about the citizenship issue; it's not an issue.

Yes he can sue, but the cost for him and the chance of collecting would seem a waste of time. He can sue about anything, but she would have had to have made statements to slander his character or position and they would have to be false. It would be up to him and his attorney to prove this, and than a jury would deliberate  on  a finding as this is civil litigation and if true than damages cold be awarded.  It is not much of case, better known as he said , she said and not many attorneys would take that type of case unless there was some real money involved.

Ask an attorney and not some 13 year old kid who knows how to type those words above in GOOGLE with quotations marks around them...

I am so sorry to hear. It must be very difficult for you and your family. \nI hate to say this, but if my son had this many charges against him, I would have to let him deal with the consequences. Otherwise, the only thing he would learn is that "mom and dad (or one or the other) will bail me out." I've seen this happen to someone who I am very close to and she is on the verge on losing everything, including her mind, trying to keep her son from dealing with the responsibility of his actions. What happens when mom and/or dad are no longer there to bail him out? When does he start learning responsibility for his actions? Chances are that he will outlive you and if he doesn't learn now, then what happens to him? Not to mention the people he has harmed by committing these crimes. It is harsh, I know, and I'm sorry. I know this has to be extremely painful for you. \nHaving said that, if I were determined to try to help him, what I would do is contact an attorney for a consultation. Many atty's give initial consulations for free. I would contact Legal Services which is for people who cannot afford to hire an attorney and is usually located in the blue pages in your local phone book (if your phone book doesn't have blue pages, I mean the section for government phone numbers). I know in our area they have certain times each week you can call, speak to an atty and ask for legal advice, no charge. \nThe website is for a criminal defense lawyer in Lubbock. Don't know how close you are to him but his site says initial consultation is free.

You could seduce a minor over the web. That'd get you a criminal background pretty quick, I'd bet.

I come from a law background and I can tell you that if they have said personal things about you for example slander then yes. If its just hear say then no. If you have written proof that, that person has done or said it then you have a case. The only problem then is proving that, person actually written it about you. But that shouldn't be a problem.\n\nAll I can suggest is taking legal advice as they will be able to go into greater detail and explain what you can and can't do.

No and a notice of intent by an individual can, in some jurisdictions, be considered a threat, or even extortion. If you are going to sue you should hire an attorney and the attorney will fie a notice of intent which will some times encourage a settlement without a lawsuit.

depends on your state actually. a child-under the age of 8-there is discretion for criminal law. civil laws are different-you can sue anyone. what state are you in? I may be able to find you a link.

though this issue has come into controversey many a time, in this situation he / she may be tried as a child. this is so because he commited the crime while he was a child, and they have to try him according the both the crime he commited and how old he was when he commited it. this is a tricky situation though because they could not stick him in a juvenile facility. \n\nthe best bet would be to try him as an adult under the reason that he was fully capable of concentious thought at the time of the murder. unfortunatly there are not many laws dictating the treatment of juvenile offenders that have commited crimes worthy of adult tratment. \n\ngood question, it adresses one of the major flaws in our juditiary system, the treatment of severly delinquent minors.\n\nhope i could help\nsage woodruff

Consult a lawyer.  Document everything in regards to the offense and shore up your alibis.

Probably not, the child is not in the US so its a jurisdictional issue.

Fraud, forgery and theft come to mind. Yes you can sue him civilly, but he can also be criminally charged as well and ordered to pay restitution.
