I Was Just Playing Dodge Ball! Why You Call The Law On Me?

Detroit area boy found himself in the courtroom after he threw a dodgeball at a white child.
This is a heartbreaking story. A 10-year old boy was about to get criminal charges for assault.

The charges were dropped luckily.

Bryce Lindley was charged with aggravated assault after a playground incident involving a dodge ball went into allegations of him bullying the child hit.

In Canton, Michigan, Bryce was playing dodgeball with children at the Ruth Eriksson Elementary school. They were playing the game and a white boy was hit in the head. He suffered a concussion.

A few days later, Bryce's mother Cameishi Lindley received a call from the Wayne County prosecutor's office. They said that the boy was being criminally charged. The boy was going to be summoned to juvie on the charges of criminal intent.

According to a police report, the student's mother filed charges against the boy because her son had a medical condition that no child was aware of.
A favorite among schoolchildren, dodgeball. If you're not into the game, don't play it.
The mother claimed that Bryce intentionally threw the ball in the face of the boy.

The child sustained facial issue damage. He has a black eye and a bruised nose.

At the time, Bryce was placed in the freezer for at least a day and his mother believe that the punishment was suitable for the incident. The child was left shaken when the law came knocking at his door.

Bryce immediately apologized to the child and his mother will pay for the medical expenses of the boy.

Cameishi questioned why the school allowed a child with severe medical issues be outside in environment where children are playing with dodgeballs.

The child's mother had started a GoFundMe page for her son's legal expenses.

D.L. Hughley and Tariq Nasheed criticized the criminal charges. They believed that the situation was racially motivated. If the situation was different and a white child hit a black child, would you expect the kind of charges?
