LIBERTY, Missouri (AP) -- A youth minister was charged with assault for allegedly knocking down a 16-year-old boy and kicking him in the groin after taking a head shot from the teen in a dodgeball game.

David M. Boudreaux, 27, was charged Wednesday with one count of third-degree assault. According to court documents, the incident happened in February at Crescent Lake Christian Academy.

Authorities said the teen missed Boudreaux with one throw but then knocked the youth minister's glasses off with the next.

The boy apologized, authorities said, but Boudreaux pushed him backward, and when the teen got up again Boudreaux kicked him in the groin and left.

1. If you can't handle a head shot then don't play dodge ball!

What a total loser, this is one assault charge I will stand behind.

[Kber]

Something most kids figure out by the time they are, say 10.

7. Yeah, guess this was the youth ministers first game of dodge ball.

Although what he did to the kid is what most kids would do to each other. Guess he forgot about being an adult.

12. That's why I DON'T play dodge-ball!

:evilgrin:

2. Doesn't Seem Like the Sort of Thing Christ Would Do

5. Agreed. It's real tough to envision Jesus, robe and sandals flapping,

charging the center line to drill Peter or Thomas with a mighty smitey throw of a dodgeball.

"You're OUT, punk!" the Savior yells as Peter slumps to the sidelines.

Onlookers cheer wildly (probably the same villagers who tried to stone the woman taken in adultery).

Etc.

8. Then somebody opens the gate

and the lions run in.

10. W.W.J.K.I.T.N.?

Who Would Jesus Kick in the Nads?

3. The Devil stalks every dodgeball court I've ever seen.

I think he scored one for the team in this incident.

4. youth minister sounds like a good "christian"

NOT.


As the Good Book said - and I believe from this story it is likely still true today -

"Jesus wept."

6. Another christian doing the Lord's work

Ya know a lot of this shit seems to happen at them "christian academies". Wonder why?

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. "Crescent Lake Christian Academy" says it all - it's a rightwinger place

Sane Christians don't have Christians schools called "Christian Academy".

There's the website, complete with a message in Christian Love from the pastor, Mike Boudreaux, who I imagine is David's father, but could be a brother.

Yes, this is a rightwinger school, I would bet much money on that - anti-abortion, anti-gay, pro-Shrubbie, pro-child-abuse.

11. Youth Ministry Our investment in the future

In Psalm 71:17 David wrote: “O God, You have taught me from my youth, and I still declare Your wondrous deeds”. Crescent Lake’s youth ministries are contemporary, relevant, and high impact. Our youth leaders are young, energetic people who demonstrate their love for Jesus and each other though our Youth Church programs and events. In 30 years we’ve raised a lot of leaders and many of our leaders today are products of the very programs they now lead.
