How did a teacher kick a desk onto your son? You call it "bullying" because that is a good buzz word but this sounds like disciplining a difficult student. Your son's performance in school predicts his performance in life. If he can't make in school, he will likely fail at life when he gets out of school. I think going to war against the school sends the wrong message to your son. If he is the problem, blindly supporting him may make you feel good because you are acting on your instinct to protect your son, but maybe he needs some tough love from the teachers. Swearing is not professional, but sometimes them kids push you to the end of your patience. Ask the superintendent to put a camera in the room and you watch how your son is acting in class. If Johnny can't read, write and figure, he will fail in life. Good luck.

Dental malpractice cases are always difficult to prove, as well as expensive and time consuming. You will have to be able to prove a failure to conform to accepted practice, and resulting injury as well, and expert witness testimony is required for that reason. In order to be able to pursue the matter, the consequences would have to be severe enough to merit a substantial enough recovery to justify the time and expense. The fact that you are in Georgia now does not prohibit you from retaining a lawyer in NY. You can deal with documents via fax and mail and you can come up to NY to testify as needed.

I don't think you can sue a 15 year old, and if you could, he would have no assets. But, since the girl is a minor as well, it's possible you could sue when he reaches the age of 18 since she will still be a minor at that time, and since judgments can stick around a long time (up to 20 years in NY) then theoretically, his income, when he has one, can be garnished over the long haul. I doubt that his parents would be held liable, as you'd have to prove they knew or should have known this would happen (maybe you could, I don't know).
