Agreed. Defamation is not the key issue here though.Suing another minor for defamation, even if it's possible, won't do your son any good.
Even if its only going to TUSLA and not gardai?You need legal advice, urgently.
He's been identified in his school population, teachers etcThey are both minors so neither can be publicly identified.
this stuff used to be settled behind the bike sheds at break time and that was that...
Agreed. If it's for the purpose of making a good faith complaint to a relevant person in authority that's not defamation. If they are going round saying it to Tom, dick, and Harry at school to cause damage that could be.The context is missing here. Has one minor made accusations against another minor of some type of assault? If the minor made a disclosure in confidence, I dont see how that could be defamation. Even if Tusla are involved thats not defamation.

Amazing isn't it that these days an assault against a child is treated as seriously as an assault against an adult! It's political correctness gone mad, I say!But when they do that these days, they face assault charges.

By a child and against a child are not mutually exclusive.I understood it to mean an assault by a child.
But maybe I misread it?

There is a big difference between an adult assaulting a child and a child assaulting another child.
