A coach on Saturday punched a juvenile player after a youth football game in California, police said.

Moreno said that while she originally wasn't at the game, she was asked to come to the field by the Panthers coaching staff, which said"there was a lot of aggression" from the Broncos. She said the referees weren't doing their job and"failed to control the game.""I know that it was very traumatizing for them, especially having their 10-year-old and their 3-year-old there at the field watching their older brother on the ground."Los Angeles Times.

Despite the coach's suspension, Edwards' family and the Perris Panthers Youth Football community say it's not enough and are seeking justice and calling for Funes to apologize. "Take responsibility for what you did," Moreno said."Apologize, genuinely and sincerely. You hurt many people that day. Their teens were taunting my kids, taunting the coaches. My kids were crying. My kids were on the floor hoping that their teammate would be OK. I feel like they should acknowledge that, and they should apologize. I feel like their chapter should be suspended. To me, I think that that'll do us some type of justice.
