Can't blame them, can you? He's their potential money tree. We used to have stage mothers and now we have sports parents. DISGUSTING!

They dragged him by the face mask? The judge is going to sentence them to a 15 yard penalty and automatic first down.

His mother "and a male friend". It figures. The typical single mother bringing in boyfriends into the picture and the kids being abused by this boyfriend.

What kind of an idiot punishes a 6 year old for not running fast enough. It makes me want to cry and I don't even know the kid. I cannot imagine how somebody can do this to their own children. Some people are just too dumb to have kids and function in a civilized society.

"His mother and a male friend, Charles Robinson" THAT is the issue here. Soooo many times when little kids are abused, it is solely or in-part by the hand of the BOYFRIEND! The boyfriend just wants ONE thing and the kids are in the way. This is the simple truth.

better start the kid on ADHD meds, 6 and he doesn't pay attention?????

and maybe a few steroids..

while we're at it, can we sterilize the "adults" in this situation as well?

i dread the punishment this kid will get when he's returned to these half wits..what a life he can look forward to..molding more damaged minds for the future!

I hope the Mom never gets that child back! I am curious as to why a 6 year old is already wearing a football helmet! Way to young for full contact footall...ever hear of flag?! No wonder so many kids are burnt out and injured by the time they hit high school!

What happened to "parental rights?" Kids need discipline or they will grow up as crooks, thugs, liberals and socialists with their lazy hands out for the welfare check. I say let the parents, parent, and keep your nose out of a man's family business.

Really???? Cause he did not pay attention during practice?????? Both the mother and her male friend need to have a down field block put on both of them and see if they will pay attention. What a sad day when a kindergardener is treated like this because they did not pay attention.

These Freaks need to serve some Serious Jail time. Hopefully the Court will step up & make a Statement with something like this..

I totally disagree w/your statement. When their 6, they enjoy the helmets/pads. If you've ever been to one of these games, the kids don't hit each other very hard. I played football from 7 years old until I graduated. Alot of my friends did the same thing. People who never played football, use the " Burn Out " theory...

I bet this kid will be paying attention from now on. Attention to a social worker.
