This is pathetic, that the man was tried in the media and his reputation was destroyed, when in the end, the kid asked to drop the case and let his dad come home.
Too bad that change of heart couldn't have been made privately, BEFORE the media clowns slime a man in public.
So much for "innocent until proven guilty"!!
"Reports said the victim was bruised and scratched.
The State Attorney’s Office said the teenager has a history of behavior problems and the fight had to do with the teenager being suspended from school and his grades.
The victim asked the state not to pursue the case and said he wants his father to come home.
All the members of the family are now in counseling."
