More details to this question:
A child in my son’s class has filed a harassment charge against him. My son is in 3rd grade. He wasn't even near the boy when he fell and other kids and a teacher confirmed that too. The parents refuse to talk to us. What do I need to do? The police won't release the report to me. What will happen now?

If there is a delinquency case you could ask for a court appointed counsel to represent your son. In juvenile court there are many remedies for criminal offenses by minors. However, your son is entitled to representation at all times during the process.
