Pattie Pollard Ash of Greensboro, NC, really wanted her son to do well in soccer. Watching him play a game one day, she took offense at the referee’s “unfair” calls. She also took action: running out onto the field, she punched the official in the mouth. The official was … 15 years old. Socking that kid didn’t play well with the judge, who convicted this overeager soccer mom of assault. She was fined and … banned from all soccer games for three years — a catastrophic punishment for a mother of this sort.
