Many things are missing from your statement.
What did the kid stealing home do? Was he preparing for contact? Did he drop his shoulder first? etc...
As best as I can tell, if a catcher has the ball and is waiting for the runner, he can not initiate contact. The runner can chose to slide, retreat, attempt to go around, or bowl over the catcher. If the runner choses any of the first three, there is no ejection required for anybody, unless the runner comes in spikes up. If he has chosen the fourth option then who has initiated the contact and how can you toss a catcher for protecting himself?
