Violent 'knockout game' hits home; BR boy suffers concussion, cuts

LINK

BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — He dreams of becoming an engineer, loves computers, and even knows Kung Fu, but right now, this twelve year old can't do any of those things.

"It's frustrating that I can't even send my child to school. I didn't know what happened to my son, he was bleeding," said his mother.
In fact, his doctors won't even allow him to read or watch TV because it might damage his brain for good. This is a result of a violent craze, called the knockout game. But it's no game for this mother. "It's a scary thing as a parent," she said.


NBC seems quick to brand this as a "knockout" example. Thoughts? SIAP

This is getting out of hand... Do these kids not have parents that teach moral values

Doubtful...I also doubt there's competent supervision at these bus transfer points either.

I don't know about you guys, but I worry about my wife getting hurt while at the store. What if she is holding my two-year old? A woman around here was knocked out by some teenager. He hit her in the back of the head with a 10-pound weight. It makes me really nervous.

Don't you live in Jafrica? I don't blame you for being skeered.

Of course I'm concerned about any act of violence involving my family members....but isn't the "knockout game" pretty much a sucker punch from behind? There's not much you can do about something like that other than be aware of your surroundings.

They don't seem to know who did this. I'm curious where the supervision was at this transfer station.

It's mostly a media panic creation and she's way more likely to be robbed, raped, or murdered than punched in the knockout game.

Maybe, but young and troubled teens want attention. If this gets them attention, they will do it.

It is becoming much like the story Gary Senise tells Mel Gibson in Ransom. These underlings have learned to sneak up and "get" someone from the top side.
