I have not said he is a criminal. It appears he has an issue based upon the statute. There is nothing in the statute about “years of experience” or “where your mentor is”. We will soon know what the DA thinks.
-
There are multiple incidents where kids are injured during a drill initiated by a coach. Doesn't always result in criminal charges against the coach. This is a first year coach who's mentor left for another job. You have to consider there's a chance he might not have been aware of some things he probably should be aware of. A huge mistake doesn't necessarily make him a criminal.

In reading the statute the coach appears to have some exposure. There is a clause regarding athletic activities that can release liability but it appears the coach mishandled that part as well, particularly since he initiated the drill. I think I read somewhere that another coach advised to not do the activity.

As he stated above,understanding the severity of a situation “or not in this case is a huge issue being a coach/mentor or really just an adult in charge
-
“Negligence” and “omission” are also qualifiers. The big factor is that the coach instructed kids. Whether or not the 6th graders had an option to participate in the drill is irrelevant. The coach is in the position of authority and the kids are 6th graders. As a result of the drill that the Coach led there were multiple kids injured and had to seek medical treatment.

"Knowingly" is the key word there and from what I hear they were given 2 choices and they chose bear crawls. Some decided they didn't want to do the bear crawls and they weren't forced to do so. Those who said they wanted to complete the activity were encouraged to do so. Was it intelligent to encourage kids who wanted to bear crawl on a hot track? Absolutely not. But was it criminal? Only if he was aware of the harm it could do or was doing. I doubt he understood the severity of the situation.

First step complete, it will be edited in the senate and then has to pass the house........ BUT, Like it or not, if this makes it to the Presidents desk, this will be an HISTORIC bill packing almost ALL of Trump's campaign promises...... The Democrats and left wing media does not know what to do.....the different headlines are great! [Hidden Content]

I thought I heard/read something about PAISD voters approving a $78 Mil bond for new land and a new stadium. Is that true? @Mr. Buddy Garrity
-
Who instructed the kids to do the activity? That will be key to the charges. Placing the child in a place of danger knowingly, through negligence or omission would qualify. I don’t have direct details and don’t want to try the case here. Will have to let the officials determine the facts.

They were 6th graders in the last week of school so average age of 12. They were also in the “Preathletics” program rather than a regular PE class so they all intend to participate in athletics in 7th grade and I’m assuming a lot of them for 🏈 which would explain why the kids would push themselves that hard. This guy is a former local HS football stud and one of their football coaches and with summer Strength&Conditioning coming up and then 7th grade ball once school starts I’m sure these kids were telling themselves they had to do it to stay on Coach’s good side for playing time, roster spots, etc.

Assuming this guy is kin to the QB Babin. Curious how that plays out within the situation.

I think it would have to be intentional to be considered child endangerment. It's gone be hard to stick someone with child endangerment for allowing them to participate in an exercise that's been a part of school activities for decades. He could possibly lose his license or never be allowed to coach again just for being seen as unfit or unresponsible but I doubt they can stick him with child endangerment

If Trump is against it........they will be for it........that is guaranteed

People coach/teach the way that they were coached/taught. You see this all the time. The hope is that nothing bad happens while they're hopefully learning. Coaches have to swallow some pride and study up on what actually gets kids better and weed through the nonsense. For example, doing bear crawls to exhaustion/injury, or doing work simply because it's hard and will make kids really tired.

Well, it has progressed past protesting. An innocent Jewish couple has been murdered. Notice how this term is never used by the media. They say “shot and killed” instead. I hope you Palestinian bleeding hearts are proud. You have blood on your hands. Remember, Hitler was the biggest antisemite ever. [Hidden Content]

“Child Endangerment” would be one potential charge.

What exactly would they charge him with?

this is from the news article: "It's a complete disregard for common sense," McCulley tells KFDM. "12 to 14 parents have raised complaints. These are burns. We'll try to determine the average temperature of the track. We're gathering facts, medical information, taking statements. We understand one coach objected to what was happening. We'd like to talk with both coaches. The information is coming in fast. We expect to meet with District Attorney Lucas Babin as early as Wednesday. He would decide whether to take it to a grand jury for possible criminal charges."

They were 11-12 year olds. Not anywhere near adults yet but I would think old enough to forfeit an activity causing bodily harm. I would think they would have a better idea if the ground was burning the skin off their hand than he did.
