I've read the discussion. If the Prosecutor has the case - at this point it might be too late for the parents to make this request. You can try bringing this option up at the pre-trial conference. You may not be able to get the felony charge dropped but perhaps with your offer to take an Anger Management class you MIGHT be offered a plea bargain if you plead to lesser (miisdemeanor) charge (e.g.: Simple Assault). You really should speak with an attorney.
Generally not: this is entirely up to the court system.
Aggravated Assault occurs when the assault involves the assailant causing great bodily harm. However, many states define great bodily harm differently. For instance, the state of Illinois defines it as any action that results in the following: Loss of consciousness, temporary or permanent loss of eyesight, broken bones and/or teeth, multiple contusions, multiple lacerations, or any single laceration that requires 8 or more stitches. An aggravated assault cant be deemed to be a "simple assault" or plain "assault" if it is determined that there was in actuality no injury caused to the victim. The only other possible way is if a prosecutor offered a plea to the defendant that an admittance of guilt will only result in a simple assault charge.
One way to file assault charges in the state of Virginia is to have police officer come to your home. A person can also visit the local courthouse and press charges there.
It doesn't really "become" charged. An electron is always charged, and it can only have a charge of -e where value of elementary charge e is 1.602 * 10-19 C as found first by Millikan with his famous oil drop experiment
Once you have been charged with simple assault, it becomes the People of the State vs. You, and the person (victim) you assaulted can't just drop it, because it is not his/her case anymore - it is the District Attorney's case.
