What the hell is a young 'un doing where they are playing Jarts? Where are the parents? GMAFB! This is the type of thinking that put Chicken Little in charge.

When I was growing up, if I was someplace I didn't belong, even if I got hurt, I was punished. $HIT HAPPENS!

There is always the option for parents to teach your kids to behave and do not be afraid to take corrective action when necessary.

There is always the option for umpires to teach ... kids to behave and do not be afraid to take corrective action when necessary.

An umpire's job on the field isn't to teach. That would make them a coach.

Wrong kind of teach, applying rules and disciplinary effects is teaching, reference to behavior.

Don't believe there are any official ruling bodies as of yet, but I hear the YSISF is spinning off a YSIJF org.

Boy... Won't that be brutal!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
