"we had to take a lesser charge misdemeanor A&B, and he did 18 months of probation."

* I think it is because he was convicted.

"Any assault and battery on a child under the age of 14 that causes bodily injury or substantial bodily injury can be punished as a felony or a misdemeanor.

(Mass. Gen. Laws Ann. ch. 265, § 13J.)"

May I ask, what was the age difference between your son and the child at the time of the incident?
