The answer is obvious, ban baseball bats.

["He just didn't realize it, it just happened and before you know it and then like I say, I told him, 'What did you do, why did you do that?"' parent Sam Cordova told Fox 11 News. "I could see it in his eyes that it was starting to sink in, oh my gosh, what did I do?" Cordova said.]
This may be true, but there are VERY FEW 13 year olds who would hit another person on the head with a bat for any reason. Any thirteen year old who would do so has behavioral problems.

Horrible story.
A kid hit me in the head with a baseball bat when I was a kid. He did it full-swing too (on purpose), and all I remember was everything went black and I woke up in the hospital.
Very sad for this kid and his family that they weren't as lucky as I was.

When I was 13, I knew not to hit anybody in the head with a baseball bat. Heck, I knew it when I was eight. This kid needs to go to jail for a long, long time.

Here's a little observation/opinion of mine that relates to incidents like this. It seems to me that many children involved in these kinds of incidents have been raised in an environment in which they were rarely held responsible for their actions. As a result, they are unlikely to weight the potential consequences of their actions ahead of time. JMHO.

The kid probably watched "The Untouchables" one too many times.

This kid needs to go to jail for a long, long time. You mean, so you and I can pay for his food, clothing, shelter, entertainment &c.?

I think you are right on the mark. The kid who hit me had some serious issues. It didn't mitigate my condition, but it certainly explained a few things.

It's not like he was swinging at an incoming pitch and hit the kid behind him. Wouldn't a slap on the wrist and a stern warning be a little weak?

I agree 100% with you. The parents may have failed in their obligation to teach their child right from wrong (OTOH, they may have done very well . . . He's just a bad kid). Either way, whether we like it or not, the law must now step in and try its hand. I hope it works!

Wouldn't a slap on the wrist and a stern warning be a little weak? Who was talking about a slap on the wrist?
If he cannot raise the funds necessary from family, friends, and whiny liberals to pay for incarceration, I say dispatch him.

Do you want to execute him?
To: BenLurkin
I know this is no laughing matter, but the point begs to be made: was this an "ugly" "assault-bat"?

The answer is obvious, ban baseball bats. And bring back the death penalty for juveniles.

Well, sorry, the Supreme Court said we can't put him to death.
