No he is not justified. He volunteered his time into a contact sport. He should realize that stuff like this can happen. The athlete did not mean to hurt his coach. It was an accident and it can't be proven otherwise.

No I'm not okay with how West Virginia is being represented in this article. It's no news though. West Virginia has been stereotyped on the basis of education for many years now. I've grown up listening to it and nothing has changed about it. I, personally, plan to make something of myself and to achieve great things throughout my life. By doing so, people like me along with others will break the mold to show people around the nation that we're not all "inbred retards" or things of that nature. Eventually, this might turn the tables and form a society where West Virginia is looked upon as a higher educated state.

1. The child's parents should be.

2. I don't know how I would handle the situation unless I was actually in the situation. I wouldn't want to lose the child, but I also wouldn't want the child to go on living a pointless life.
