NORWOOD, Pa., Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Pennsylvania police said two people were arrested on child endangering charges after officers saw a 6-year-old being punished after a football practice.
Norwood police said Chellie Bowden, 36, allegedly sought help from Coach Charles Robinson, 41, to punish her son for not paying attention during a pee wee football practice Thursday. Police said the boy was forced to run for more than a mile before Robinson allegedly grabbed him by the helmet and dragged him, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Friday.
"It was awfully harsh for them to be punishing a 6-year-old for not paying attention. Very seldom do they pay attention," Norwood Police Sgt. Michael Spille said.
