Father of the Year!
An assistant coach on a Pop Warner team has been charged with child abuse after he tackled a 13 year old. Video shows that at the end of a play, a player from the Stockton Bears made a late hit on a player from the Riverback Redskins. That player’s father (the Redskins assistant coach) didn’t like it so he ran onto the field and hit the Bears player from behind. That triggered a brawl.
The coach, identified as Cory Petero, then tried to hop a fence to escape police. He turned himself in later and was booked on one count of child abuse.
It’s good to know that fathers are still taking an interest in the lives of their kids. In a society where all too often boys are raised by single mothers, it’s heartwarming that there are fathers out there still showing love to their boys the only way they know how — attacking a rival 13 year old.
And they say society is falling apart.
