Our child (B) was in a relationship with (C). Both are early teens. They broke up in the summer and now are at the same school. C has been accusing B of assault and rape to friends. The school has attempted to minimize the impact, but it has escalated to the point where B and C’s friends have been confronting each other, and B is concerned about people believing the lies about him.
The questions we have are: Should we be consulting a lawyer, and if so, what kind of lawyer should we be seeking?
