In this case it would really be tough to make the kid sit if you didn't have any prior knowledge. If I found out about it after the fact, I think that I would have a serious heart to heart with the coach about playing the kid after having a head injury. This chat wouldn't be as an official but as a concerned citizen and in my state as a mandatory reporter of child abuse. If putting it in that context doesn't make the coach consider the safety of his players, then maybe a chat with children's services will.
