Football Gone Bad

Parents going INSANE at their kids' little league games isn't anything new. . . IDIOTS have been doing that for generations. But what went down at a youth football game in Stockton, California (--about 80 miles east of the Bay Area). . . that takes it to a whole new place.


--36-year-old Cory Petero of Riverbank, California, is an assistant coach of the Riveroak Redskins. . . a youth football team with kids ages seven to 14. . . and his son is on the team. (--Riveroak is a combo of kids from Riverbank and Oakdale, California.)


--On Saturday, Riveroak was playing the Stockton Bears. . . and on a punt return late in the game, 13-year-old Brian Wood of the Bears TACKLED Cory's son after the play was over.


--The referee was about to flag Brian for a late-hit penalty. . . when Cory came sprinting out on the field. . . and TACKLED Brian. Hard.


--That set off a brawl that emptied the stands.


--Cory has been charged with FELONY CHILD ABUSE. . . and the Delta Youth Football League has given him a lifetime ban from coaching. (Modesto Bee / CBS 5 - San Francisco)
