David was 14. He was ball tapped by a peer. A 14 year old is old enough to know better but it seems that anything goes these days. It gets worse. A 5 year old boy was operated on in Indiana for injuries received in a ball tapping.

We’ve all had it happen. Its Nasty.

This is about misguided kids trying to be dominant.

I say give them boxing gloves and rules and FORCE them to fight. Make it safe and make it hurt.

“geeters ... Pop your buddy in the crotch.”

I saw something similar, but I was an undeergraduate. If some guy was studying and left their genitals unguarded, some clown would loft a tennis ball at them.
One of my roommates was bad about this. So he was studying, with his back to the door, and one of his frequent victims snuck up on him. Roomie felt something on his shoulder, looked down and saw it was this guy’s johnson.
All this clucking and tut-tutting won’t change the fact that young guys do stupid stuff.

What are parents to do? What are schools doing?

Just a suggestion; stay out of the way and let the kid who got "tapped" knock the other kid's teeth down his throat.

My dear FRiend, if you find this bad you didn’t grow as a Male in the 50’s and 60’s. You have never been in a serious Brawl and were probably never in the Military.

I tell you all, this is about male aggression.

The answer is to guide these kids into sports.

But not soccer/football:

There was a young lad from Koblenz,
His scrotum was really immense!
..One day playing his soccer
..He sprang his left knocker,
Then kicked it right over the fence.

Actually you can guide them into any manner of stuff, studies, motorcycle racing, what ever.

The thing that is ****ed up here is that these kids a maiming each other, because they arent getting guidance.

These kids are natually trying to establish dominance.

Why? Parents should definitely be made aware of this cruel practice, and teach their sons how to defend themselves.

And have their son kicked out for defending himself? Avoid the hassle and get him out of public schols now!
