Not funny at all. Before we start accusing the guy of going for the deep pockets - I saw a 6-year-old send my 50-year-old friend to the hospital for hernia surgery in a very similar incident. You don't think they can hurt you, but they can hurt you. Could a 50-lb kid pop a 220-lb guy's knee? You better believe he can. Easily, and if you don't think so, ask a karate instructor what he teaches kids to do.

And before we start saying, "He's a big guy, he should have handled the thing," recall that if he'd swatted the kid or even grabbed him, he'd be in jail. If the Docs say his injury is real, he's got a case. IMHO, of course.

“Could a 50-lb kid pop a 220-lb guy’s knee? You better believe he can. Easily, and if you don’t think so, ask a karate instructor what he teaches kids to do.”

Yup, you are exactly correct. You can be the biggest, baddest dude (or dudette) on the planet. Your knee joints and ankles are still vulnerable, and can be wrecked with surprisingly little effort.

I’m a 5’5’’ 120 pounds teacher, and this wuss is just looking for a payday.

You can restrain a kid without hurting him.
