My son was playing baseball, and the runner basically dropkicked him in the bicep with metal cleats, which caused over ten abrasions on his arm and made him get 8 stitches. Everyone, even the umpires, saw that it was malicious and noted it in their report. The other player was ejected and is suspended for a minimum of 1 game. The player was almost warned for another questionable play in the game. When the player kicked my son, my son's bicep was at least two and a half feet off the ground, and he was standing right on the base. The player and his father apologized for it, but I have been advised by some people to file assault charges, but I think it might be a bit extreme, unless the player has a history of this. What do you think about filing charges? Also, should I get a lawyer to look into the player's history? The incident wasn't on video, by the way. Like I said, it is probably a little extreme, but I want an unbiased opinion. Thanks.
