41. It wasn't blown out of proportion.
There's a difference between consensual twisting between friends and assault. Two kids trading painful shots in the arm is fine, if theyr'e both enjoying it. And we've all seen it.

BUT... From the article:

"Offensiveness is going to be judged by the person" on the receiving end, he said.

"They’re not friends," she said. "If (David) was my son’s friend, it would be a different thing."

Exactly.

Then, Mom protects baby bully so he doesn't have to face the consequences of his actions:

"David’s mom, Christine Alford, said she refused to allow her son to attend an informal "intake hearing" at juvenile court after seeing a photo of a youth in handcuffs on the county’s juvenile court Web site."

Then, he gets a stiffer sentence for non-compliance. WAAAAA!
