4 yo boy requires 30 stitches after being knocked down by football player

I think the father takes full responsibility for being less alert with the security of the boy! As a father walking around with a four year old along the pitch line, he should have expected all sorts of dangers including tampling and flying balls-he didnt take the safety of the boy seriously and I cant help blaming him!

OMG I feel for that boy. He looked fine though afterwards in the video but oh seeing him hit that way, ouch. His scar though almost looks like a Harry Potter one. He might get some razzing from that once it's all healed. I bet the football player felt horrible as well from it all. Why they were allowing bystanders down in that area is beyond me though. They should not have been there where they could have gotten hurt.

I don't understand why the little boy was on the sidelines like that. I am very glad the boy is ok and will heal up ok.

Well I can't understand how that happened The boy was only 4 how can that sort of thing happen and be considered as an accident

What was that child doing on the field to begin with? I was just horrified when I saw this...family day or not...nobody but the players/coaches/refs etc. should be on the field!

That is so sad to hear that happened to him. I hope he heals quickly.

What a story. Thats so sad that it required so many stitches. I hope that he continues to recover. Good thing there was a doctor on site that was able to help out with the little boy.

Wow, I just don't understand how children get things done. Its just sad how children are getting hurt alot these days, its like there is no where for them to go that they don't get hurt.
