My 6 year old is complaining of chest pain, she s crying. She says she was punched in the chest at school. I can t even touch her without her whimpering. I gave her some Tylenol. I am concerned that she has a bruised breast plate or broken ribs. I know the point where she was punched is considered a kill point. This happened in lunch line at school, by a boy her age.
