Oh, and in response to the question you asked Smitty, I do have a law enforcement background with extensive training in security and crowd control - news flash....a parent attempting to go to the side of an apparently significantly injured child does not pose a threat from either standpoint. Preventing them from exercising their legal rights could, however, be a significant liability issue....and likely a criminal one as well.

It would all depend on the jurisdictional rules/regualtions. It would also depend on the training that the crowd control/security personnel have as to what the charges can be. If the crowd control is licensed, more liability can be brought against them depending on their actions. However in most circumstances, for school sporting events the crowd control is normally school staff that are not licensed as crowd control/secuirty, or volunteers that may or may not have any training or be licensed.
In all situations it's always think about the situation as it's happening & what should & should not be done. Not always will a parent be a bother to medical personnel. Nowhere did I say completely ban them from giving input, this can still be done by not being directly involved.
