And the injuries must have been severe :Not life-threatening” are weasel words—the Dad had as many as nine people punching and kicking him.

“They were talking initially before a battery occurred to the child,” Ruth said. He added that the father went to his son’s aid and started to pull the offender off the boy when the father was knocked to the ground, and the group surrounded him and hit him with “punches and kicks.”
At that point, the wife tried to help her husband and son, and she also was attacked. It did not appear that anyone immediately came to their aid, “but numerous people reached out to Six Flags employees as well as calling 911,” to get them help, Ruth said.”

Er.,, in that neck of the woods “crowd” can be an iffy proposition. Lets put it this way there are a lot of the kneeling types in Waukegan.
