Sorry to read about your son, but it's absolutly disgusting having to wait that length of time. A couple of years ago the same thing happened to my son on his way home from school, must admit though the police did turn up within the hour. But getting anything done was a differant matter. Reason being that i had to deal with the same policeman who happened to be going on holiday a couple of days after the attack, and as it was on a Friday evening they couldn't do a lot till the Monday. I made such a stink, that eventually an inspector came to see us, and within hours they'd pulled a couple of lads in. Be as tough as you can be on these lads (within the law of course), it is (hopefully) one of the few things that might scare them and stop them doing it again. GOOD LUCK.
