It was the head official that was with this child and the parent, and the child did end up forfeiting the match. I think that is sufficient for reporting as that would be the person I would take it too. It almost sounds as though you would support this type of action. In what world is it ok to kick your child? I do agree they should be encouraged to continue but not to the extent of being physical. The purpose of this post was to bring awareness to this conduct and put an end to it.
