Question:

What if my kid knifes another kid? Can they go to jail?

Answer:

If your child injures another student with a knife at school, it could lead to serious consequences. Carrying or possessing a knife on school property is prohibited by law, and the penalties for violating this rule can include imprisonment not exceeding 3 years or a fine not exceeding $1,000. Additionally, if the injury caused by the knife involves a substantial risk of death, extreme physical pain, protracted disfigurement, or loss of bodily function, the consequences could be even more severe.
