I can imagine it if it was after the game, but its DODGEBALL. Your supposed to chuck balls at your classmates. Hell, in any ball game, people have a high probability of being hit.

Let's be real, kid was being a bully but this isn't worth the charge. Race isn't relevant here, but that's the world we live in.
Based on the information given, how can you possibly come to the conclusion that the kid was being a bully?


Probably because he threw the ball at a kid's head hard enough to injure him?


What kinda balls are they using over there? We had soft rubbery floppy balls that didn't hurt much when you got hit.

When I played dodge ball as a kid in the early 90s you couldn't aim for the head. Might have just been my school I guess.

Do you think this is a pointless charge?


Being as it seems they all were playing dodgeball yeah. Getting hit in the face with said ball is bound to happen at some point. Perhaps play something other than that if you don't want to get hurt.

It really depends. Ive seen plenty of kids get hit in the face where the intent wasnt malicious. Or seemed malicious. Some people just cant aim. Or are bad at throwing... Stuff like that...

I always loved dodge ball, but as the years went on we got to play it less in school. I remember the teacher saying they didn't like dodge ball anymore because it's dangerous.

There is simply no way a kid can be charged for playing dodge ball. I don't understand it, sadly, I can understand how the school could be held responsible for having kids play a game and one get relatively seriously injured (you can die from brain bleed on a concussion)

Well it is the only sport where you attempt to aim at another player and throw the ball as hard and fast as you can. I mean in say basketball the point is not to throw the ball at your teammate as hard and fast as possible.

When you guys played dodgeball, did you not sometimes aim in the general direction of somebody and throw the ball as hard as you could, not intending to hurt the person, but simply trying to throw the ball hard and fast enough that they couldnt dodge it? Is that now how you guys played dodgeball?

Uh nope. I hated dodge ball, so I often ended up slipping to the back of the line when my teacher wasn't looking.

No such rule at my school. Only one we had to be careful of. I forger why but we where told to not hit him below the waist. For some reason he would cry if he got hit in the legs and he had medical reasons of some sort. Kid was also slow and surprisingly ablot of people including jocks played nice with him even seen a game or two thrown where they eliminated everyone but him but would then just casually toss him the ball giving him easy catches.

Yes, and it was highly encouraged.

Can't aim? No problem kid just launch the ball and hope you hit someone. Try not to hit them in the head or face, but that's dodgeball for you. You'll get out if you do but we get things happen. Basically what we were told to do by the teacher.

We used either rubber dodgeballs that were way too inflated or actually basketballs once or twice lol. That was back in grade school. Done think we played it past that tbh.

Of course I'm like super old. (Not really I'm 34.)

In high school got put in special PE. (Note, a chunk were there due to behavioral issues. Mine was more physical issues.) Was standing by a wall once, kid kicks a ball and it ended up hitting the wall and slamming into my chest. I was less than a foot away from the wall.

Wanna know what happened? Teacher told me to go to nurse, was having some breathing trouble. Nurse told me that even though was still having pained breathing after going to the nurse's office and waiting for her to acknowledge I was there it was just having the wind knocked out of me and sent back to class. Teacher was stunned, but just let me sit. No one got in trouble.

In my school literally no one would have gotten in trouble for this.

The kid was suspended. Schools dont generally hand out suspicions without good reason. It was probably either repeated bullying or over the top violent

Also, lol at the hypocrisy of claiming the mother was racist while saying things like, "white boy" and claiming that it had to be race related because it involved a black and white kid

That's the oversimplified version told by someone who wasnt there. Turns out reality generally has more details. The kid probably wouldnt have been suspended if it was just simply an errant dodgeball throw

I'll just say this. It takes a pretty hard hit to the head to sustain a concussion. My guess is the kid may have been on the ground and was hit by the ball and his head hit the floor or something but that's just speculation

MICHALECOLE is right. It doesnt take that much force to get a concussion. But, apparently, the kid that got hit had some sort of medical condition. So, that may be the reason he got the concussion. So, it might have been a normal throw. Also, it could have just hit the right spot or something, as well...

But dodgeball is a sport where youre throwing a ball hard at other people... And if it hits a head, it may cause one. Apparently, its not that uncommon in dodgeball. Usually, people will try not to aim for the head. Also, most people try to protect their face, which probably lessens the amount of people who get hit in the head. I think they say it takes about 95 gs of Force to cause a concussion. And most football players get hit at 103 for comparison. But throwing a dodgeball is probably a good amount of Gs. Its fairly light, but has som me weight behind a hit. And depending on how it hit the child, it may cause one easily. Also, based on the medical condition, it may take less force to cause a concussion. Not to mention, he was really young, which could probably help...

Well, you're throwing a ball pretty hard & fast. And it apparently can cause concussions. Also, just because a football player can cause a concussion doesn't mean that only football players can cause a concussion. Also, I wasn't comparing them. I was just explaining how concussions work and using football to explain it because that's how the article explained it. But according to this article, a dodgeball thrown by a 10-year-old boy can also cause a concussion. But it doesn't mean he was trying to give the other kid one...

It really doesnt take that much force to get a concussion, not sure why people keep saying this

Yes it really does. If it didnt they would be more common. That's why they're very uncommon outside of contact and combat sports

But dodgeball is a sport where youre throwing a ball hard at other people... And if it hits a head, it may cause one. Apparently, its not that uncommon in dodgeball. Usually, people will try not to aim for the head. Also, most people try to protect their face, which probably lessens the amount of people who get hit in the head. I think they say it takes about 95 gs of Force to cause a concussion. And most football players get hit at 103 for comparison. But throwing a dodgeball is probably a good amount of Gs. Its fairly light, but has som me weight behind a hit. And depending on how it hit the child, it may cause one easily. Also, based on the medical condition, it may take less force to cause a concussion. Not to mention, he was really young, which could probably help...

And football players constantly get concussions but they're also walking refrigerators

Yeah. I just said up there that they get hit with enough force to get concussions a lot. Idk why you mentioned it again...

Because you're comparing a dodgeball to a 300 lb offensive lineman in an attempt to argue that it doesn't take much force to cause a concussion lol

Well, you're throwing a ball pretty hard & fast. And it apparently can cause concussions. Also, just because a football player can cause a concussion doesn't mean that only football players can cause a concussion. Also, I wasn't comparing them.

Yeah and as I've said previously, everything any of us are saying is all speculation. Personally, I'm just leaning toward it being more than just some errant throw due to the concussion and suspension. I think that's a perfectly logical conclusion to come to but I admit that might not be the case

Feels like an Ancient Aliens answer. "Perfectly logical it's probably not aliens. But it could totally be aliens."

True. It is all speculation. Though, personally, I'm not leaning toward bullying yet. I see no basis for it. All I know is they were playing dodge ball, and a kid who probably shouldn't have been playing the game in the first place got hurt... Shit happens. People get hurt, and sometimes, people get concussions in dodge ball...

Yeah sometimes its just the coach or school at fault i mentioned a slow kid with medical issues in a previous post. Everything that kid had going on he should have had a pass from most physical activities in gym.

Especially considering bullying though as said for whatver reason even the bullies left him alone for thr most part.
