If the boy doesn't know it's not right to bite another human being, then the parents are to blame not Suarez.

If a child is in your care, and something unexpectedly messed up happens infront of them. Then it should be explained exactly why it is wrong to the child. My bet is the parents laughed at it, which in his head gave the child the ok.

Listen, When I was 8, I was allowed to play GTA 4. Before you say "OH MY GOD THE HUMANITY! WHY DID YOUR PARENTS LET YOU!" It's because my parents raised me well enough that they could trust me. I played GTA, A game full of Shooting, Death, and hookers. Did I renact anything? NO. Bad Parents not Bad TV.

Yes I have no problem with so called violent games for kids. I grew up with guns, grenades, knives, war games etc and so far I have committed no murders ad neither of my pals. I decide what my brats play and watch and not some group of censors who are guided by blame and legal issues/lawyers

...hmmm, I just don't see it as emulating something that is 'typical' to a sport though or justifying it because of what Soarez does..a wrestler wrestles...a footballer doesn't typically bite because on any level, biting is not 'normal' or acceptable behaviour beyond a child teething and whether there was a fault with the parents or not I can't see anything but an exclusion being the result of what he did...if he's facing a possible permanent one then this can't be the only incident and there must be other behaviour problems which have probably been on going, hence the final warning...

..the fault that I do see with the parents is that they seem to be looking more at 'blame' than addressing the behaviour issues of their child....

His parents haven't taught him to not re-enact everything he sees?
That's still the parents fault.

..this is the Sun, right..?..so I don't think it's something you could really go on as being reported with any accuracy..and he was on a 'final warning' so there have obviously been several incidents, not necessarily biting but of hurting children because one incident would inly be a day or two exclusion and not a permanent one and I also know this particular school and their policies on behaviour..anyway, in general I do think it's a concern if a child is a 'biter' beyond the age of teething and something that would need to be addressed as a serious behaviour issue but I think the while football thing and association is really just nonsense tbh.....not that I would I take any of the story as anything other than 'slanted' ...
