Hit my kid and he would need massive reconstructive surgery.
The man should get a minimum of 6 years in prison. That would be for a single punch. Hitting her multiple times is just evil.

I do not agree at all with this ruling. This guy needed to spend time quality time in jail for his crime. To be fined $500 and sent to anger-management class, in addition to some restitution, just does not cut it. This guy needs to pay for his crime and, imo, he has not. He is probably laughing is head off as gotten off so easily.

I am sure there is a lawsuit pending here, as well. But I agree. He should have spent some time in jail. Grown men ought not to go around punching little girls.
Any damn fool that would take a a four year old where there are hundreds of people sking should be charged with child endangerment, does the bastard still. Have his job. Some places are just not child safe.

“Filler’s work as a “disease detective” with the Epidemic Intelligence Service was chronicled in former AJC reporter Maryn McKenna’s book, “Beating Back the Devil.””
So it was a case of mistaken identity.
Nonsense. Is there no accountability today? Who’s fault is it if some careless idiot runs into a 4 year old? 4 year olds are very small.
You can’t take rights of self defense away from men.
“Anger management” - what a pathetic thing. The sentence is about right.
2-4 times?? Which is it? It makes a big difference
What if it was a car? Would you blame the parent for beating the crap out of the driver? Skis can be just as hard on a 4 year old as a car, if they hit wrong
Mogul rage?
I wonder if you have kids. Parents have a right to deal with threats to their children. The notion that 14 year-olds have no responsibility for their actions is a great mistake our society seems to make. I'm guessing that this "girl" wasn't charged with reckless endangerment. If it weren't for the father she would have suffered no discomfort whatever.

Why wasn’t he over on the bunny slopes with his 4 year old boy? Was this a main skiing area? If you take a small child or any child out on the main slopes it can get crowded and hairy including when snow boarders show up. This scientist sounded like a university professor aka liberal.
Yeah go yell at the girl but to jump on her with fists. Not a good thing. He should be banned from all ski resorts.
I disagree. It sounds about right to me. This wasn't some innocent little girl he punched, but some punk teenager who ran over a four year old! As a father of a toddler, I can tell you that no teenager who recklessly endangers my child is going to get off easy from me.
I agree that she didn't deserve to get punched, and he needs to learn how to control his anger, but she wasn't seriously injured.
The guy deserved a slap on the wrist, and that's what he got.
I’m astoundd that he tok a 4 yo out on a busy ski slope? I could see how easy it would be with a quick glace to miss someone so short and think your path was clear.She my hve never even realized the 4 yo was there until she hit him.It’s not like you have time to look 3 or 4 times on skis.
It appears that the Court is prompting Coloradans (adapted to high altitude) to resolve the next such incident on site.
Scumbag should have found himself on the ground with a pair of holes in his chest after the first hit on the girl.
There’s no possible excuse for such a mindless attack on an under age girl by a supposed adult. If he were truly concerned about his own child’s well being, he should have been seeing to that child’s care instead of going rabid and attacking the teen.
5 years in prison would have been a decent starting point, not this joke of a sentence.
He wouldn’t have a job if they hadn’t banned DDT.
