What would you do?

 

Let’s paint a picture. Your child participates in a sport related game. This game involves separating teams. Meaning your child is on one team and there is an opposing team. Your child is involved in a foul committed towards a player on the opposing team. The player then retaliates against your child by fighting.

If it was my child, I would not press charges against another child unless the severity of the fighting was life threatening to my child. Reason I would not do that is because things happen in sports and unfortunately it is a part of the game or sport we risk by participating. I would say if you do not want your child to be assaulted then you would need to keep them in a bubble.

In an article I read today it was on the subject matter. The mother of the kid assaulted by the other teams’ player is prosecuting the high school student to the fullest extent of the law and wants her banned from playing soccer. What has this world came to prosecute a child and possibly ruin a life because of being overly protective in my opinion. I am not stating I do not have concerns on the

Not only do we hear about some sort of violence in sports, we see it on all levels weather is little league or

I have kids and I want the best for kid, I do not want them to be or experience fights and I want to protect them. I also have to understand and remember that some bad things are not completely bad and help to shape our children’s character. This is where we as parent should make sure we stay involved be talking to our kids to provide support to help them learn how to handle and cope with such situations because when they are grown and involved in an altercation, how do we expect them and how are they going to handle the situation? This is the question with a million different answers!

Would you press charges against the other child to the fullest extent of the law? violence involved in fighting or in sports today. I just feel we need to just prepare and discuss these options with our children to help them understand what may happen and allow them the ups and downs of participating in sports. We should embrace our child after being in an altercation and make sure they maintain a since of pride and continue with their journey of life. college or professional. Yes, their should be punishment to fit the crime but to prosecute a high school kid to the fullest extent of the law I feel is over baring a bit. We should allow the institution to implement the punishment for the offense. I have had to deal with such situations because I am a little league coach. I do not believe in fighting or all the cheap antics to sum it up in sports. I believe in sportsmanship and comradeship. Most organizations have rules in place for such situations and we should allow them the power they have. If we are not satisfied with the outcome; than we should appeal to the organization to ratify their rules possibly. To involve the legal system depends on the severity of the offense which in most cause is more damage to ones pride.
