I guess I didn't because it was a youth game but after about a minute I realized that I should have at least T'd him and I've been kicking myself ever since.

I don't think you NEED to T him at that point. You've got a few other choices. You might make a mention to the coach that #whatever has a mouth problem that could cost him. You might tell the kid that he's treading on dangerous territory when he tries to call the game. I don't think I'd T him straight up, though. I didn't see it, either. I suppose if he was adamant enough I might.
