<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

Today: My brother was assaulted and battered today at high school. He was threatened, did not fight back when it happened, and was repeatedly kicked in the head. At first, the school officer asked us if we wanted to press charges. Now we received a call from the same officer explaining that the assailant will be charged but through the state's attorney since it is a juvenile case.

Back story: He has bullied my brother and friends in the past (i.e. pushing by assailant, words exchanged). Multiple parents have stated how they are worried he will snap, he has hurt others in middle school, and had to take anger management classes. Recently, my brother, as well as numerous other students, started a meme using the kid's picture. While my brother did not start the meme, he did post one. The assailant found out that my brother was one of the posters and sent a threat via text. After a few days my, he attacked my brother from behind, threw him down, and started kicking his head.

We fear for my brother's safety and would like to see everything done that is possible. Is this standard procedure for the state to handle a case like this since it was in school or should we be doing something as well? The officer made it seem that there was nothing we could do and they were taking care of it all for us.

I apologize for any grammatical or spelling errors, but I am typing this as fast as I can. We are worried and we need help. Reddit, do we lawyer up or let them lawyer up for us?
<bot>: Students and brother at high school created a meme about a bully. Bully found out brother was a part of it. Bully assaults and batters brother. Who presses charges? Us or the state?
