my friends son and another boy had a fight in the playground yesterday. They are always fighting these 2 boys, if not with each other, then with other boys.
Anyway, my friends son broke the other boys nose with a punch.
The other boys parents have told my friend that they expect their son to be be compensated financially for the distress and that they consider £500 to be a reasonable amount. They have said if my friend won't pay compensation then they will involve the police.
When the police are involved in all probability my friends son will receive a police caution which will go on his record and affect his future career prospects.
My friend thinks this is blackmail. The other parents think it's reasonable. I don't know what to think.
What do you think?
