First off, no, this is not the Onion.

Youth minister charged after 'dodgeball rage' incident

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.

The teen suffered whiplash and post-concussion syndrome and had blood in his urine after being kicked, according to court records.

Boudreaux later apologized, prosecutors said.

Jeanne D. Hewitt, administrator of Crescent Lake Christian Academy, said Boudreaux had been placed on administrative leave.
No seriousily, I swear to all the imaginary gods ever created, this is not The Onion.

Well, it really doesn't have The Onion's signature. It actually sounds perfectly real -- and, indeed, probably is.

I've been hit in the head with a dodge ball before. I didn't kick anyone in the groin afterwards, but I can't say that I was full of happy thoughts.
73% of all statistics are made up, including this one.

I'm waiting as fast as I can.

Nobody makes me bleed my own blood!
If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now! All votes for me! Wheeee!" -- Lagmonster

If you can dodge a kick, you can dodge a ball!
