She was actually charged with the crime of malicious assault? As no assault took place, I find it hard that anything other than disorderly conduct would even apply.
I guess I can't really blame the parents for getting the cops involved. Just two days ago, a 9 y/o at a local school took out a pocket knife and stabbed another student (and his friend) in the leg, causing a very bloody wound. There was not threat to get a knife, it was just done. All of this because the 9 y/o grabbed a piece of paper away from his friend and the friend took it back. They have no way of knowing what your daughter has or intends to do. If anyone told me at any age that they were going to get a knofe and said it in a threatening manner, I would call the cops also.
Incidentally, the 9 y/o was brought to a juvenile detention facility until the juvenile courts had time to review the case and decide what to do.
