Possibly. Depends on the situation. Two kids in high school, one 18 and the other 17, both roughhousing, no priors - probably not. 45 year old property owner surprised by a 17 year old burglar at 3am - probably not. 25 year old guy with priors and a 12 year old who sassed him - yes, that would be jail, at least, possibly prison.

"One minor" death threat?

1. Yes, they can be charged, if the District Attorney thinks he can prove that took place.

2. The person who made such a threat will probably do better at plea bargaining or sentencing if he does not refer to it as "one minor" death threat. That's kind of like saying it was just "one minor" beating.

More detailed information is needed. Just telling someone you're, "going to beat them up," does not rise to the level of an offense, unless there actually was pushing and shoving, or the threat is part of an ongoing pattern of intimidation.

Yes.

It is illegal for any type of abuse to be used against any minor under the age of

18. If any verbal abuse occurs that child has the right to do whatever it takes to defend themselves.

No, selfdefense is legal but it can't be more than that.
