It looks like it just bounced back, so they probably got to throw it again.

Agreed

I'm seconding this. Seriously, there need to be more calm, unflappable "Now, you see (insert son or daughter's name here)? That's what happens to people who don't stand behind the yellow line like they're supposed to" fathers out there.

Although I know I could never be one of those fathers, since I'd be laughing too hard to make the point, and probably just manage something like "Well, at least he won't be sticking his head into the path of a subway train! HAH!"

Remember, teach Shadenfraud at a young age!

Sorry, Shadenfreude

I just read that as "Bind On Pickup." I really f'ing hate myself for ever playing World of Warcraft some days.

There's two kids playing. The girl in the mossy shirt is on the right lane. Right at the beginning of the video you can see a straight-haired blond head, shorter, standing at the left lane.

Also, grassy knoll.

binro man you're the type of person where someone can be mean to you with the excuse "i just can't deal with binro right now" and everybody gives that guy a pass

Binro the Heretic
Chalkdust,

There's no kid playing at the right lane. Both the girls, possibly sisters or playmates, are playing in the left lane as evidenced by the fact both of them continue chucking balls down the left lane after the incident.

Watch where the ball comes from. The ball jumps from the left lane, practically from right under the camera, across the lane divider and whacks the toddler in the noggin.

wow Binro's right. I hadn't noticed that. It bounces because it hit the yellow middle divider.

The fact remains... he shouldn't have had his head there either, Binro. Are you the sort of fellow who checks down the barrel to see if a gun is loaded?

Parenting isn't so much cost/benefit analysis as determining how much damage your child's psyche requires to survive the road ahead, while avoiding sending them over the edge to a life of mental anguish and therapy.

A ball in the face is a relatively light lesson to keep your head out of the line of fire.

For our children's future.

recontextualization makes this even funnier

I think it was intentional. According to her father, she can do no wrong and its always the other kid's fault. Years from now she'll have body parts in her freezer.
I want to see the follow-up with the dads beating each other with skeeballs.

Call me a sicko if you must, but watching the exact moment where the ball hits this kid is the only way I can achieve an erection.

I've said it before, so I'll say it again.

Every single video of a toddler getting kicked/bonked/dropped/whammed/tripped/etc/etc/thwacked/trashcanned /etc/etc/etc...

Just pretend it's always the same kid, with different colored hair and different clothes. Then bookmark every single one you can find, and watch them like a thirty minute mini-movie.
