What do you do with a child who is repeatedly punching a teacher? He looked a little tall for a 7 year old - this isn't like a 3 year old punching.
Yeah, he looks to be about the size of my 8 year-old nephew; and he's nearly 5ft tall already, which is only a few inches shorter than his mother (my sister), and VERY strong. If he really wanted to attack a woman like this teacher, he could do some serious damage. Thankfully he's a good kid, though.

Sort of like what I said, in another context, about the AKC category of Giant Attack Dogs, i.e. the Newfoundland, the Great Dane and the Irish Wolfhound. They can do a lot of damage, but don't always do the damage; sometimes a "taste test" with their tongue. Your nephew could do a lot of damage if he went feral.
Pressing charges. I read a discussion under an article written supposedly by another parent at the school. She said he was doing this continuously - that her child had a story to tell about this boy's violent behavior several times a week.
The thought was that by putting him in the juvenile justice system, he'd have access to mandated therapy and the court would require parenting education also.
I thought that a child that age couldn't be charged with a crime. That's why I thought a law suit made more sense.
