Respond to this Kazoodle Recess roughhousing results in broken bonesTalk to offender's parents?My ten year old is no shrinking violet. Whatever sport he plays, he plays it with gusto. He's the one diving for the ball to keep it inbounds. He's the one giving his all for every play, even in practice. However, all reports are that my son's eagerness had no role in a recent incident that broke his arm and collarbone. A bigger kid, "Joey," plowed into my son at recess for no apparent reason. The boys had been playing football but the ball was not in play when Joey decided to deck my son. I immediately got the call to take my pain-stricken son to the ER. If all goes well the bones will heal completely and quickly. It's been almost two weeks since the incident and we have yet to hear from the family of the boy who injured my son. I'm conflicted as to what to do. There's the decency issue and then there's the cowardice issue. I honestly don't know if Joey ever told his parents, and I'm equally doubtful the school did. Joey has essentially "gotten away with" this serious injury to my son. At the same time, If I were Joey's parents I'd want to know. But I don't want to make this about me. Anyone had a similar experience? -- Dawn B., Chesterfield, MO Share YOUR experience. What did you do? How did it turn out? How did you feel about it?
