A Texas volunteer little league coach has been accused of being a poor sport after he was caught on video roughing up opposing players after his team lost over the weekend.
Kenneth Wendt, who also serves as a local police officer, can be seen forcefully slapping the children’s hands and even bumping one kid during the end-of-game handshake line over the weekend, according to a report by local TV station KHOU.
The boys who were slapped can also be heard commenting on how hard they were hit.
“That coach pull me back,” says one child.
“Nothing in the world gives you the right to do that to kids,” Victor Torres, a coach for the winning team, told KHOU.
Wendt, who coached a team called the Scorpions for kids 9 years old and younger, was officially removed from his position as a coach the day after the game.
The Harris County Constable Precinct 5 Office is aware of the incident and is investigating.
