Kids were getting kicked in the head hard enough that they dropped on the regular. I think the head shot rules have changed since I was in it for kids though.
My son was at a karate tournament last year and I saw a 5-year-old get struck hard in the face. The kid stood there bawling for about 2 or 3 minutes. Nobody intervened, they just paused the match and let him stand there and cry it out until he had control of himself. Then he finished the match and his dad gave him a hug.
