@betheball: Yes, he should be banned if he threw any kid to the ground. Little League is not a place for violence.

@yeahwhatever: I have a son in Little League. I have also coached baseball and soccer, which means I have gone to multiple coaches clinics. Yes, I do know what I am talking about. I wasn't there, but from what IS REPORTED in the article, I can tell enough to know that the coaches actions were very wrong, as well as the actions of the boys involved. I believe criminal charges would be appropriate in this case, but whether they are filed or not, at the very least this coach and the boy who threw the punch should be barred from any further Little League activities.
Was it your son that threw the punch?

@yeahwhatever: Call it what you want. It shouldn't have happened. If it was "horseplay" the coach should also never be in charge of kids. Obviously he can't make sure they behave properly and safely. He should be criminally charged for encouraging this.
By your vehement response, I imagine you must be that coach.

"Boys being boys" is not an excuse to allow bullying to happen!!

@solidroque: Hahaha. Love it!

@solidroque: Hahaha. Love it!

The students are gone so there is limited public peeing, but never fear - the locals are just plain nuts, so we will still have a police blotter.

Charges should be brought on anyway!!!!

@Ben-Shockley: He won't be there anytime soon. He hasn't violated enough probation yet.

And CCSD is trying to encourage and they are practically begging kids to bring their own technology to school so they will have a 1:1 ratio of students and gadgets (todays email "reminding" parents to sign up for this insanity said if 20% of kids do this they will achieve their goal). They want kids to risk their stuff getting stolen but they say they are not responsible for lost or damaged gadgets. Thats absurd. Get the thugs out before their behavior escalates to this.
My kid taking iAnything to school = Not. Gonna. Happen!

Being poor is not an excuse for poor grades.
Having a poor demographic is no excuse for low scores.
CCSD needs to quit making excuses.

Why is it always CVS??

His next stop (SCI Graterford):

@Lady of the Lake: I'm pretty sure something will happen. Since Philly is in the eastern part of the state, he will go to Graterford for intake before classification at Camp Hill. He will be in quarantine for 10 days at Graterford, but after that he will be with other guys while he waits for transfer. Its pretty rough there - they had a stabbing recently (I know someone who works there). Then on to Camp Hill... not a friendly place, remember the riots. Yes, that Camp Hill.

This is one of the longest docket sheets I've ever seen and its not even complete yet. I can't believe he had the nerve to request a court appointed attorney.

He needs to fry!! Kudos to everyone involved in the rescue.

I don't care who comes out of the closet. Newsflash - I am straight. Now can I clog up you facebook page announcing that? Can I have a pride parade? Its not my business nor is it anyone else's business who does what (or who they do) in a bedroom. I don't publicly announce my sex life. It would be great if more people didn't.

And people wonder why I am moving out of Clarke County! This is happening at Clarke Middle, too.

Releasing them to their parents is the problem.

Ummm, WHAT????

These people are nuts!!!! God gave us the brains for medical advances.
The remaining children need to be taken to the doctor and then foster care. The parents need to be taken to prison!

How much probation will they get if they are caught?

Not surprised at all. He won't even need to convert to a "prison muslim" in prison.
