One user wrote, "Somebody will probably make fun of this, but I've seen children do serious lasting damage to adults before.I know a guy with a permanent injury in his hand from a kid kicking his thumb into his hand.This teacher's issue seems to have been something triggered by the kid, but don't underestimate near feral children."
"My aunt is a special Ed teacher for 5-7-year-olds. She's been put in the hospital before because of them," wrote another.
A third user wrote, "A child could take out an older adult's kneecap with relative ease (especially with a running start). Tackling a teacher's knee resulting in a fall, possibly landing on one's head, absolutely could concuss or even kill someone.Human beings are more fragile than most people realize."
