Does this Qualify as a "serious injury required for hospitalization"?

Question

ssomething happened at school where i hurt another student. and the overall after math of that injury was a red mark that was blistered and a little burnt skin. I reading the deginition of a "great bodily injury" and i came up with this "" The cases which we have upheld a finding of "great bodily injury" involved injuries serious enough to require hospitalization and/or serious rehabilative treatment" Would the injury i stated above Qualify as an Injury serious enough for Hospitalization????????? I think the burn (that was caused by a heated tool) was AT MOST a 2nd degree burn, and the red mark caused from the burn was a few inches wide. Please help me. By the was the next day (at school) the student showed up to school just fine with a rapped arm.

Answer 1

In many states, any willful injury (assault) that results in a hospital (doctor, etc. counts too) VISIT is considered "hospitalization" for criminal purposes.  It sounds like you are trying to minimize what you did.  Own up to it and take responsibility!!  Even a 2nd degree burn is terrible!!

Answer 2

This happened 4 WEEKS ago, and 4 days ago, you had not been charged, and the Officer had said it would be Battery, IF anything... Look, I understand that you are afraid, but the answers have all been the same, it's over, heck, the kids burn is probably healed!

It qualifies as a stupid move on your part, and hopefully you learned from it, but it didn't result in any charges, none.

You are worrying yourself over nothing, at this point... but, learn from the mistake, be thankful the other child wasn't seriously harmed, and move along.

Answer 3

wise up in the future

Answer 4

Unless the person was bullying you, your an a*****e, bullies are the worst. YOU BETTER HAVE BEEN BULLIED TO HURT ANOTHER STUDENT.

OR I'LL GET MAD.
