The daughter of former NBA player Corey Benjamin was captured on video sucker-punching an opponent during a youth basketball game. Now, the girl's mother, Tira Hunt, has been ordered to take anger management before being allowed back at games and will have to pay the victim more than $9,000.
went viral last winter. In it, the girl, the daughter of former Chicago Bulls player Corey Benjamin is seen punching her opponent, 15-year-old Lauryn Ham in the neck, while the two teams were in transition. Hunt can be heard in the video egging her daughter on, saying, "you need to hit her for that." The family said Ham suffered a concussion because of the hit.
An Orange County Superior Court judge ordered Wednesday that Hunt will be required to pay Ham's family more than $9,000, write written apologies to Ham, her parents and both basketball clubs, and undergo anger management before she'll be allowed to attend games again. "Parents have a fundamental responsibility to raise our children to be good human beings who treat everyone with dignity and respect," Spitzer. "Youth sports play a crucial role in developing discipline, teamwork and fair play. A grown adult directing a child to use violence against another child on the basketball court is reprehensible."All the news you need to know, every day
