Anyone ever consider that having charges filed against the kid might actually be doing him a favor? There is the chance that he has no structure in his life and getting into the juvenile system might be a wake up call for him? Believe it or not, I've seen kids turned around by the system. Of course, maybe I've blown his situation out of proportion but I suspect that what I saw on video was not normal for a kid and maybe a symptom of something more serious. Now, it's possible that the coaches might be addressing the problem and many do a great job of being the father figure to troubled kids but then there are some that are only concerned with winning games.
