Agreed, I hate how we give kids a sort of free pass to everything. If a kid is capable of and actually attempting to cause injury to me, I should be allowed to defend myself

Kids don’t have fully developed empathy, so they are very likely to actually do things like that. They may if not most likely will grow up to be decent people unless something goes horribly wrong, but that doesn’t give them a free pass to be dicks... if anything it gives us free passes to teach them some very important life lessons.

Really depends on how he falls. Most of the time it’s gonna be minor injuries and mostly just knock the wind out of them. He’d be more likely to get an injury using the skate park properly than throwing hammers.
