Mother attacks 10yo at junior rugby match

“Ugly parent syndrome”? I thought that was stricly an ugly American thing. Apparently not…

A junior rugby union match in New Zealand was abandoned at the weekend after a player’s mother stormed onto the field and attacked one of her son’s 10-year-old rivals.

“Ugly parent syndrome” has become an all-too-common feature of junior sport, but rarely do the adults take it out physically on the kids.
