A good example of my point. So you don't even care if the policy helps other kids avoid that same fate, it's just a point of principle to you and you're happy to see them go to hospital with concussion?

It's hard to guess why you've interpreted their comment as being "happy to see them go to hospital with concussion".

But I would suggest that in a debate over whether or not it's a good idea to punish children who are innocent (e.g. being attacked in a one-sided "fight"), the onus is on you to demonstrate that there are benefits to the approach, not on others to demonstrate that punishing innocent kids, or people in general, isn't a bad idea.
