they should let the mother of the child who was hit have a go at her see how she feels being made a punching bag - dumbass!!

They were lucky. So many young kids die of blunt force trauma every year. There was recently a day care center running a fight club and another that allowed a girl to be repeatably get hit.

They deserve all the jail time they can get. They should all be charged with child endangerment at the least.
