Absolutely not. If they were just done in the last few days, it's still pretty tender, and it can be a pain to get it back in. but it's not impossible, and it does no real harm.
mdray -- My suggestion would be to either don't work for that facility again, or find a lawyer that's willing to write you a non-liability contract with the facility. People are sued every day for all kinds of ridiculous things, and regardless of how innocent you might be, you could lose a lot of mattress stuffing even if you are never found liable. The fact of the matter is, your name can be put on a liability suit, and then you've got a huge expense regardless of who wins. Liability insurance covers the cost of your defense so that you don't get ruined by someone else's carelessness.
What usually works, though, is to say to the kid (especially the young ones), "Have you ever seen what an ear looks like when an earring has been ripped out of it? Is that what you want?"
Here's the all-time stupidest remark from a coach on this subject. I told him his player (jh girl) couldn't play with a splint on her finger. After some arguement, he said, "So if she plays without the splint, and re-injures her finger, you'll be responsible?" I should have tossed him just for being so stupid.
