A 12-year-old girl in California has been charged with battery following a playground game of dodgeball, reports the Associated Press.
The charges stem from one of the regular games of Wall Ball at Hermosa Elementary School in Alta Loma, Calif. Brittney Schneiders is accused of kicking a ball at an opposing player with braces, giving him a fat lip.
Five other students were also accused of battery stemming from the incident, but they opted to take probation. Brittney's parents said they will fight the charges.
The case is set for trial in March.
