According to the video, the one kid has a medical condition which makes him susceptible to head injuries. If that is the case, then her kid has to be aware not to engage in such games.

Yep.

so more information:

“The incident happened when students were playing a game called tips, according to Lindley’s Facebook post. Tips is similar to dodgeball. but instead of throwing the ball at each other, children toss the ball into the air and then jump up and catch it.”

Prosecutors said that the incident between Lindley’s son and the other boy happened after the students had stopped playing the game. Lindley’s son allegedly “took the ball and intentionally threw it with force” at the other boy, Worthy said in a statement Wednesday.


So, the form of the game sounds like it is very unlikely to result in a hard hit to the head from a ball...and in any case, the incident was apparently not actually part of the game play.
