I'm sorry this happened. Kids do stupid things sometimes, but I believe you handled it beautifully. Really, I admire you as a mom - you recognized what your son did was wrong and made him apologize and you felt bad for the elderly couple too. In my opinion, that should have been the end of it. What the couple's son did after that was over the top. You could probably get a RO against him, although he was probably just being a tough guy and thought he was "protecting" his parents. He really should pick on someone his own size (and age) because you had everything under control. How much smarter he would have looked if he had just knocked on your door and discussed the situation with you and your DH.
