We have a local rule for 10u and 12u that throwing the bat can be called out, after a warning has been given.
But you see, this is a local rule, and it's up to the discrection of the umpire. It's not "pure" softball (or baseball for that matter), but it's intended to prevent injuries.
BTW, we also have a rule for the 12u that a called strike causes a ball to be removed from the count (if there is one already), and a throw from the plate to second to try to get a steal that goes into the outfield is a dead ball. But that's just us, and it's good for us.
