12-year-old makes league debut

In Uganda, we call that Kamanyiriro (Insolence) how can that coach do that for sure. In africa, child labour is intolerable Julio cesar Baldivieso as a punishment should be lashed 50 canes. With Immediate Effect.

alboi, you come on now and relax. When someone comes out admitting that there is a problem in their country, pointing out that there are other problems there serves no purpose but to demean. As far as the punishment, I agree with Muziransa. In much of the West, a parent can use corporal (physical) punishment against his/her child, and so why not, some lashes for parental disobedience. Oh, and send alboi to Uganda for his disobedience!

topmiller,

LOL! Criticism accepted and point taken. But I still disagree with Muziransa.

Where is the child labor in this whole thing? It's probably been a dream for the kid to play in a pro-league and the coach, being his father, subbed the kid in. He is able to get away with this in Bolivia. Now you don't fix a problem in a country like that with a justice system that still lives in the past. In what civilized country would you be lashed with a cane 50 times? Maybe in Uganda, but that is hardly civilized. You can fire the coach, but you have no right to physically abuse him.

It seems too common for some of these countries to use physical violence for every problem. Only animals do that. Humans have reason.

50 Cane lashes should be reserved for those who commit a crime. Is sending a 13-year-old player on the pitch a crime? It was only an act of stupidity by a proud father. I don't know about you, but when I was 13, I was dreaming of playing for the Azzurri and scoring all 4 goals against Brazil in a W.C. finals. It was only a dream but it felt good!
