The kid did the right thing. Red Wing shoes needs to donate a pair of steel toed boots to the kid.
I told my kids about the story. Then explained the politically correct bull crap. I told them to kick the bully in the nuts, punch his throat, and take his eyes out, if he was still attacking them. Then when they are safe (he stops because of major pain), get away. If the morons(out of control officials) press charges against my kids, I’ll deal with them, and their stupid charges.
PS- I taught my kids to be nice!
