I think the policy definantly should be that no kids should be allowed on the feild underaged, they aren't very aware of their surroundings and dont react quickly, obviously. I blame the parents, I mean the father should have been closer to him. I dont think it was the players fault whatsoever, he was doing his job.
Parents should have known better than to let him wander around...negligence on the parents part...I was a football coach brat and if i EVER walked away from my parents side i had my butt tore up. I feel bad for the guy who hit the kid...he was just doing his job
http://westindian.us (April 23, 2007)--A spring football game at Colorado State turned out to cause quite a bit of pain for one little boy.
Wide receiver George Hill was catching a touchdown pass Saturday when his momentum carried him into the end zone where he collided with a 4-year-old Caden Thomas who was among several kids playing on the sidelines as part of a children's festival at Hughes Stadium.
After being treated by the trainer for Colorado State and the team doctor, Caden's parents decided to take him to the hospital.
The boy needed stitches, but tests revealed no skull fracture or other trauma.
Caden got a signed CSU football and a call from the coach on Sunday.
The university is currently looking into changing its policies about allowing children on the field during games.
