Ouch,
1. I would tell my kid that I would support him but that he had better level with me right now, because if I supported him and found out later that he was guilty I would beat his ass more than 100 principles could.
If he still said he didn't do it.
2. I would start questioning every staff member, student, etc.. looking for anyone who might have seen it.
3. I would make sure that I had pictures, medical records if there were any bruises around my kids throat area or any other place.
4. I would call the local news stations and get some media coverage, they usually slant things in the way of the victim for sympathy.
5. Call the school board and tell them that if action isn't taken against the principle that you will pursue legal action against them. There is NO EXCUSE for choking a child.
6. Call attorneys, when the school makes it hard for you to look for witnesses, the attorneys can get a lot more done.
7. Stay on top of the police investigations, find out who they have questioned, what information they have, etc.. Let them know that this isn't going away, also why it would be nice to have the medias involvement, they have to make more of an effort when being watched so close.
Good luck,
RD
If all else failed, I would call the court clerks office and find out how much bail would be for an assult and battery charge, then I would drive to the bank and withdraw that amount. Then I would drive to the school and beat the principles ass.
