'Witness: Foul-mouth mom urged beating’: “Beat the crap out of him.” ... “His nose was bleeding and he had blood on his shirt.” ... “Valerie, what are you doing?” ... “I did not see Valerie kick the boy in the head.” ... “Valerie was making a number of inappropriate comments.” ...
Here’s a Hub Blog test: Read the following lead on a story about Foul-mouth Val and guess which publication ran it. Here we go: “Parents who ‘lose it’ at Little League games and the like are often over-identifying with their children and feel the only place they have control is on the field, experts said.” ... Figure it out? The New York Times? The Globe? Psychology Today? No! The Herald!!!!! ...
Not a good week for youth sports. No need for a pedophile psychoanalysis sidebar. Not in Boston.
