On 4 August 2012 at approximately 15:00, operator was operating his vessel on Center Hill Lake and towing his son who was skiing on two skis behind the boat using a rope. Victim was skiing back and forth through the boat''s wake when he fell. One of his skis came off his foot and struck him in the head. When his father came back around to pick him up he noticed that Victim''s head was bleeding. Victim''s parents transported Victim to the Dekalb Community Hospital where he received several staples to his head. He was later released the same day. 
This boating incident happened near Pates Ford Marina but the boat operator was not clear on an exact location. I received a call after the incident happened and took information for the report over the phone from mother.
