My son was burtiualy attacked at school. The school was told about it before it happen and did nothing to protect him What can I do

Assuming you are in Virginia, you can go to the Court Services Unit of the jurisdiction where this happened (For example if this happened in City of Richmond - go to the Court Services Unit that services City of Richmond).  They can take a complaint and issue a petition against the juvenile who committed the assault.  The Court Services Unit of a City or County is the equivalent of a magistrate for juveniles.  They are the ones that decide whether a juvenile will be charged with a crime.  If the attack was committed by a child who was 18 at the time, you need to go to the adult magistrate.  Make sure to take documentation of the injuries, dates, times, as much information about the offender as you know, and witnesses' information with you.  This response is general in nature and is not legal advice.
