The coach, reportedly identified as Gerrel Williams, was seen hitting a child in
the head twice. The second blow knocked him to the ground during a stop in play at the AYF National Championships AA Div 1-7U in Kissimmee, Fla. The video was sent to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, but the mother of the child said she did not want to press charges, according to reports. Williams, who also worked as a detention center counselor, has since been fired from his job there, the Chatham County Sherrif’s Office told WJCL in Savannah, Ga. “I’m not going to make no excuses for what I did,” Williams said in a video posted to his Facebook, per WJCL. “I was wrong. … There is no excuse for my actions. He forgives me and his parents have forgiven me, so nobody else should be bashing me.” |

I don't condone violence, but i could easily make an exception here. If he hit my daughter like that?! Lets just say he wouldn't be physically able to hit any one ever again!

i got a experience like this too at school, my teacher slapped me quite hard in the face, knocked my glasses right off my face too, and my ear well i heard beeping noises, nothing for a short while after
also the shocking thing, that teacher who did that to me formerly worked at a youth detention center, one would expect then you would have more discipline but back on topic: no one should get away with this, even if the child forgives you

The whole 'he and his parents have forgiven me so shut the **** up' mentality is particularly hideous. It shows that he isn't sorry, he's just trying to get the heat off of himself. An abuser through and through.
It's remarkable and aggravating how no one intervenes in the full clip though, you'd think a stand full of parents would be baying for his blood after doing that but no one does anything. If he attacked kids like that in front of everyone, it makes you fear what he could have done behind closed doors. He won't face justice but hopefully he'll never work with children again. |

Then he's recorded himself saying "I'm not going to make excuses... I shouldn't have done what I done... I shouldn't have disciplined him in public I should have waited 'til we got back."
THAT is what he's learned from this. Not to punch kids when someone might be recording him. Put the **** in jail. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 12-12-2020 at 05:08 PM. |

He'd be picking his teeth up if he did that to my boy. Shame on the parent's too for not ensuring this cannot happen again by pressing charges.

How on earth can he get away with that though? Regardless of whether the parents press charges or not!!

...it’s difficult to fathom why a mother would choose not to press charges...(...the reports all say ‘mother’ with no mention of father so i not sure if she’s a single parent...)...but her ‘consent’ wasn’t needed and charges have been laid against him by the police, so he’ll face the justice system for his actions as well...

Obviously if she is a single parent that has no baring on this decision... but well done to the police, it is an odd thing to leave it up to a victims mother to decide whether an assault took place. It wouldn't be expected in any other scenario.

Thats insane, the poor kid, I wonder if he is an ‘emerging talent’ and Ma has dollar signs in her eyes and therefore is ignoring physical assault
If he is happy to do that in public, what is he doing off camera?

How do you reach that guys age and not know that that is totally wrong?
How is anybody not able to control themselves enough to not do something like that? Control your emotions! Last edited by Alf; 13-12-2020 at 05:11 PM. |

It seems to be quite common for assaults in America, unless there's serious injury, for it to be left down to the individuals involved to decide if the police proceed with charges... and in the case of a minor that would fall to their parent or guardian. They can continue with charges if they feel like there's a danger to the public though and in this case they are so, seems the police believe (quite rightly IMO) that this guy is a risk to other kids in his "care".
I doubt he'll face jail or anything major but my hope would be (and possibly why the police are pressing charges) that he'll get a charge on his record that means he can no longer work with kids. Which he definitely should not be. It would be worrying if he was saying he lost his temper... but it's clear from what he's saying that it's an even MORE worrying scenario where he actually thinks it was fine and the only problem was that it was in public. He's clearly been smacking these kids around all along. This is just the first time he did it publicly and someone caught him on camera. |
