Wikipedia says this about assault with a deadly weapon, which a knife is.
You have to actually try to hurt someone for it to be assault. Sorry, but, while the kid is committing a crime, he is not actually hurting anyone. He's just making his mother, who also whores for attention, afraid. Of course, she says she is afraid, but who really knows? In the kid's defense, mom could be utterly full of shit.
Quote:Aggravated assault is, in some jurisdictions, a stronger form of assault, usually using a deadly weapon.[5] A person has committed an aggravated assault when that person attempts to:
cause serious bodily injury to another person with a deadly weapon [6]
cause grievous bodily harm to another person, such as rape or kidnapping
have sex relations with a person who is under the age of consent
Aggravated assault can also be charged in cases of attempted harm against police officers or other public servants, or for bodily harm stemming from the reckless operation of a motor vehicle. The latter is often referred to as either vehicular assault or aggravated assault with a motor vehicle.
