Maybe they can just leave him in handcuffs at school and keep this form happening again.

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.

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.

Guess I'm wrong. Here's a good article about age and crime: http://criminal.findlaw.com/juvenile...or-ordeal.html
