Well to start you wont get far with the 'ol " I talked to some witness who said...so change the report" issue. You will either need to get the witnesses to contact the investigating officer or provide notoarized statements etc. Same thing for the alleged admisson by the other driver, its tainted by your relationship to son, unless SHE contacts cops to correct statement. Bigger issue is, to what end is this concern? If your son was not hurt, and he was not charged, I am not sure why this is a big issue. If you are looking at making an injury claim of sort, if your son is not OK but was hurt, I would focus more on the issue of whether the car hit your son or he ran into it. This could e more problematic.
