I am very uncomfortable watching a child have his leg broken.
If I hadn't known that fact I might not be so squeamish.
I think children should be taught that brute force is not an appropriate response
When they are pushed beyond endurance it is certainly understandable, but the least they can do is make sure the response is appropriate.
There have been many international situations where a pile-driver has been used to crack a nut. We should be teaching children that this is not something to be celebrated. You don't break the leg of a yappy dog - that's jusy cruel. Why have a lesser value for a human?
