Hmm, looks to me like aggravated assault and battery. Add in, that the kids looked like minors. Aggravated assault and battery of a minor. That doesn’t sound good.
Some jurisdictions have moved away from the term battery and now only prosecute varying degrees of assault. In most states, a person commits assault and battery when they strike or attempt to strike another or when they act in a threatening manner to put another in fear of immediate harm.
Some states also have a separate category for aggravated assault or battery. There are many ways to heighten assault. For example, causing a serious bodily injury or using a deadly weapon are aggravating factors. Some jurisdictions consider intentionally harming vulnerable individuals to be aggravated assault.
