Where is PU?
Where were the adults in the situation?
If the young umpires was BU, where was PU?
That's the problem with young umpires.
When a bad situation arises, they might need the help of the adult etc.,
And also why both umpires should always walk on the field together.
As far as your local board etc., I would definitely suspend the parent, and I would probably recommend the young umpire be reassigned to another league or something.
Also, I would severely reprimand the young man. If he's going to umpire, he must have thick skin. But remember,
if he's umpiring that game, he does have rules to enforce which is what he was doing.
Our game would often be better without parents.
Thanks
