let's look at this from a kids POV. he wasn't trying to INJURE anyone. it was apparently kids on the way home from school, and the kid swatted another kid on the ass as they drove by. hitting him hard enough to injure him in that way probably would have broken his arm. the problem was that the driver swerved and the kid lost balance, and then he swerved again, tossing him right into a parked car.
