Let's see.. he is 17 and threating high school kids. Yes, you could have the police knocking on your door at any time.
I suggest you set down with your son and explain to him that because he is not in school he will be consider as an adult by the authorities. Therefore he will have to start acting like one. That includes not getting into fights with others, leaving kids alone, not get involve with or interfere with the operations of the school buses, etc.
Good luck and it sounds like your son has some serious growing up to do.

Your description of the incident is vague and may be lacking actual fact. However going with that I would say that most likely nothing will come out of it. Your son told the boy to get off the bus but he did not physically try to remove the boy from the bus. He said he wanted to kick the boys butt however your son never came into contact with the boy. If your son had no reason to be on the bus and entered the vehicle without justifiable cause then he is trespassing and possibly with ill intent. Proving that your son was actually going to inflict harm to someone would be difficult. This incident is not a major crime and your son won't be going off to prison anytime soon. However the real problem is that your son needs to understand that he has approached the age of reason and needs to contemplate situations before reacting and understand the ramifications of his actions. Violence is not an acceptable solution to what seems to be verbal slander. It is time for him to grow up.

Laws against what? The boy on the bus talking trash about your son (that is called freedom of speech)??, or a law against your son threatening someone with physical violence.?
He should get in trouble. If he is out of school, then he should not have ANY interaction with anything that has to do with the school. That includes the bus too.
Sounds like your kid needs to grow up. If he is out of school, tell him to get a job.

Yes, he can, depending on how far the other kid (or his parents) want to take it. However, as there was no physical altercation, and no injuries, it may just blow over. But your son has to learn to control his temper. By the time he becomes an adult in the eyes of the law, he can get in very serious trouble for things that a minor or juvenile can get away with.

Big Yes! What was he doing on the bus if he's out of school? He threatened the kid. It's probably up to the school district or the other kid as to whether or not they file a complaint against him.

Contact the police first. Tell them what your son did was inappropriate, and ask that THEY contact the other GUY'S parents, they are both damn near men and it is high time they start acting like it before they find out the penalties are a long night in jail. The police will act as the liason to keep the conflict from going any further, they don't want any more paper work or court dates than you and a simple phone call from them will end the B.S quickly

Talkin whatever doesn't mean anything. Your son was trespassing on school property so yeah he can get in trouble. Here in Ohio a kid get get suspended if he gets in trouble at any school sponsored event no matter the date, time, or location. He can also be suspended for getting in trouble between the time they left school and the time they got home.

it depends on the rules of the school he goes too, if its like anything like my school he could very well get in trouble. school take threats very seriously even is the child is just playing around so your answer to this question is maybe and maybe not it all depends on the rules of the child's school. Even if the school decide not to press charges on the child the other child who was threat ed his parents could press chargers against your son.

It's his word against the other kid's word. He can't get in trouble if both sides are claiming to be innocent. School Staff has to see it, read it, or hear it to do anything.

yes he can, he can get into a heap of trouble. You had better straighten this little delinquent out before the authorities do. At 17 he can be tried as an adult.
