A bus driver hit my handicapped son. Is that considered battery?

 The Code Section for Assault and Battery is: http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-57 .  Generally speaking a Battery is any offensive touching or touching done in anger.  Whether the charge can be proved to be a battery or not, is another issue.  This response is general in nature and is not legal advice. No attorney client relationship is formed by it. Further, the response does not represent the opinions or views of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.
