Youth coach jailed for beaning of autistic boy

A youth coach was sentenced to prison for paying another youngster to "bean" an autistic 9 year old team player to keep him out of the game because the coach felt he did not play as well as his teammates. The other youngster tossed two balls at the autistic youngster in exchange for 25 dollars.

As he was led away, the youth coach was overheard to say that he did not do anything wrong.

The mother of the autistic youngster says she is still struggling to get the boy to try a new activity after the incident because he is afraid of being hurt.

Let me repeat: As he was led away, the youth coach was overheard to say that he did not do anything wrong.

This is from the sad but true files. He'll have time to think about it in jail and figure it out if he chooses to.

I know that the truly Christlike would want mercy for the coach, rather than retribution.



I am not yet Christlike...
