first, don't beat yourself up about the girl getting injured. injuries happen in softball and this wasn't your fault. We live and learn as umpires.
In 12U, I would tell the catcher to move back a little or tell her that she's a little close. In a lot of cases, 12U catchers are setting up where the coach has told them to. Most 12U catchers are not changing where they set up from batter to batter.
If this was adult ball or even 16U or 18U, I would keep my mouth shut. The skill level is higher and a catcher should know at that level if he/she is too close.
