think these questions through before you ask. a little critical thinking will allow you to discover that a 13 year old is not the same as a 31 year old. and a 10 year old is also quite different in many ways from an 18 year old. This is also why we dont hand out drivers liscences, hand guns and cases of vodka to kids in middle school. just think about it for a few more minutes if your still stumped ill explain it to you.
Truthfully, I don't think what I saw in the video was worthy of jail time. The father ran over to his son, and knocked over the other kid. That was the end of it. If he wanted to assault the kid, he could have kicked him in the face or broke his ribs or broke his arm or something and really ruined his life, but he didn't.
What he did was wrong, sure.
Was it child abuse? No.
Yet, you think a 19 year old is the exact same as 70 year old?
A 17 year old is the exact same as a 3 year old?
Because they aren't... yet in the eyes of the law they are.
The system is messed up, in my opinion. You don't have to agree, but you can't honestly say that a 17 year old who kills someone doesn't know what he is doing.
I am not arguing that he should go away for years in jail here. I am arguing that A) it was assault and B) if I was the kids father who was knocked down the fvcker would be toast

Did you even watch the video? The fathe pushed the kid, and knocked him down, big deal. He doesn't hit him or kick him or do anything that would cause the kid to even seek medical attention, much less get "put into traction". If Amused is being honest, then he is just a big bully and destined to spend a lot of time in prison when he assaults the wrong person. Or maybe he is just acting tough because this is an internet forum
It's an adult assaulting a child. Again, were it my child that father would be in a world of hurt... and no jury would convict me.
And no, I'm 39 years old and have never been arrested for a crime (besides an unpaid traffic ticket in my teens), much less in prison.

you can be tried as an adult for certain crimes like murder 1 when you are less than 18 and they do a prelimiinary pyschological investigation to determine if you have the mental capacity to distinguish right from wrong. There are some people who have mental disabilities who will never mentally mature beyond the age of 10 or 12. They can read and write and communicate but they do not grasp concepts in the same way that a mature adult can. For this reason they may not be tried as an adult. its not a perfect system but a perfect system is jusst a pipe dream anyways.

A footall player lays a late hit on a kid. Dad runs full steam onto field and sends the other kid flying. Sorry no audio caught it too late to switch over audio over. The best view is at the end. Kinda of a big file 22.6 MB Dont have the right editing software on lappy, used WM encoder
EDIT If someone can make the file size smaller feel free and faster let me know I will send you the original
The kid who hit the other kid from BEHIND, WAY after the play was over is the one really at fault here. It's not like he was ready to tackle and suddenly the whistle was blown. I'm pretty sure it was intentional, he hits the kid IN THE BACK a few seconds after the play is over, and then just walks away like it was nothing.
In the end, the kid deserved what he got, the father overreacted, yes, but he was still in the right.

what?!?!?! no adult has the right to go onto the field and push over a kid like that. he is now being charged with a crime.
was the kid wrong who pushed his kid? yes, but let his coach, the school, handle it. the father was not "in the right" to retaliate.
You're an idiot.
First of all, the kid was not hit in the back. When you get hit in the back, you don't fall like that. If he was, he would've sprawled out instead of curling it. He was probably hit from the side. On top of that, if it was a full on sprint, getting hit in the back probably would've straight up flattened him, and he would've been in a world of pain afterwards.
Second of all, if you're away from the ball and you don't realize the play is dead, you have no way of knowing you shouldn't hit the guy. The whistle wasn't blown until after the hit already occurred.
Thirdly, like I said before, late hits are a part of the game. They happen at every single level of the sport. It was not malicious, it was not done in a way to injure, which he could've easily done. You'd be suprised at how damn effective a chop/cut block after a full sprint is at tearing ACLs. Or how effective a spear is at breaking bones.
And to my last point, it's a hell of a lot different when two 100lb kids go againt each other, compared to when a grown man, weighing 180+, takes a full sprint and throws a shoulder tackle/knee into somebody.
You've obviously never played any sorts of tackle football, at any level.

Well two things to consider.
1 The dad ran at the full speed at the kid and the kid fell over not flying thru but more like tripped over his own feet.
2.The dad took off running leaving his kid by himself.
So 1+1=2 noooooo
1+1= dads a bigger pvssy then kid on the field.

I'm not saying the guy was right in how he handled the situation, he wasn't, but the kid definately was in the wrong here.
I'm not going to argue with you.
He had the right idea, but overreacted. He should have defended his son, just not gone out and rammed right into the other kid.
