It’s easy to assume there was no ill intent, but bullies will often find ways to harm others that give an excuse for their actions. School yard games are a very common place for it. I’m 99% sure they were playing gaga-ball (I have 12/10/8 year old children, it’s all the rage on the playground) which explicitly bans throws above the waist.

Look, if its so dangerous for the kid to get hit by a ball, he never should have been playing a game where he got hit by a ball. There are tort laws that protect athletes from assault charges like this, and this kid got charged for one reason, Because he's black. The cop that charged this kid should be suspended, and the complaining mom needs to realise if her child can't be hit, he should not be playing contact sports. There really is a problem with people babying kids nowadays. Not everyone has to be able to do everything, life isn't fair. IMO, this is on the childs mom, who didn't inform the school her son couldn't play a game where people people regularly get hit in the face. Theres no more info needed. Suck it up and walk it off, or don't play. I'm sick of hearing parents scream every time children get knocked on their ass. The mom who called the cops is from the worst part of society. Helicopter parents are ruining their kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todays parents (and schools) are terrified their children might get hurt, or get their feelings hurt. Instead of just letting them learn on their own, they try to remove every bit of danger. Society is safer than it's ever, and children are babied and fawned over more than they ever have been. Discipline has dissapeared in favor of feelings, and god forbid a child be around anything slightly dangerous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helicopter parents are ruining their kids. These weren’t athletes playing a sport, they were kids on a playground. If one child intended to hurt the other, that isn’t some protected action. Even within the realm of sports, an intentional violent action outside the norms of the sport IS cause for lawsuits and even in some cases criminal charges. But again, this wasn’t a sports competition so none of that is relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Helicopter parenting is very much still a thing. My wife is a high school teacher, and a good friend of mine is a college professor. They both deal with it, believe it or not. (Professor can tell the parents to pound sand, their kids are adults) Very Involved wealthy white parents are the worst though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was children playing a game of dodgeball (which is a sport, there are leagues), and a kid got hit in the head with an inflatable rubber ball, not a rock. The whole point of the game is to hit other kids. I seriously can't believe people are arguing that this could be a crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren’t playing dodge ball, the game they were playing doesn’t involve throwing the ball at anybody, and the alleged incident happened after the game was over. They weren’t playing sports, but even if they were, if one player did something outside of the norms of the game with the intent to injure another player, it wouldn’t be a protected action. Which is why the information presented in the article isn’t sufficient to determine the validity of the charge. You are making a lot of assumptions to arrive at your conclusion. Anyhow, the charges were dismissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article linked to in this thread says they were playing something like dodgeball, not dodgeball. Later stories confirmed what the game was and it wasn’t dodgeball or any game that involved throwing a ball at other players. The later stories also included a key detail: the ball throwing incident happened after the game was over. And read carefully, I didn’t defend the decision to charge, I said you would need more information than what was presented in the original story to make a reasonable assessment of the charge. You really do a poor job of hiding your true identity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
