Nowhere in the story does it say anything about hitting him in the head. That's an invention of the nanny staters on this forum.

Have you seen how t-ballers throw? Could'nt hurt a fly. But could put a cry-baby on the bench (what I suspect was the coaches plan).

Not admirable, not good coaching. But definitly not intentional harm. Six years is crazy.

Getting kids to pay attention is a huge challenge. Some lessons need to be painfull to stick. Noone on this forum knows if that was true for this individual kid. I doubt it. We've only heard one side of this story however.

LOL

that's right, he was just teaching him a lesson.

You're a joke.

I dunno if the kid was instructed to hit him in the head, but how good is an 8 year old's aim?

I'm fairly confident that at 8 years old I coulda done some damage to another 8 year old's skull.

Rejecting battery on a young boy does not make one a nanny stater.

Hell, I don't think kids should have to wear bike helmets and find rules against running up the score in sports insane.

But this is a case where an alleged adult bribed a little kid to hurt another little kid.
