Agree on all counts. The AL bats definately pound the ball harder as the ball leaves the surface of the bat that much faster.
When I was a kid, we had wood - the AL bats were just starting to trickle out. When my kid was in P-Nut/Little League and so forth, you had AL and graphite/carbon bats - wooden bats were for adults/prehistoric.

The AL bats have no place in young hands.

Regardless, its not the bat or the ball or the pitcher or the sun or the sky's fault - it was a freakin accident.

If today's parents want their little darlings kept perfectly safe - put their fat little asses in front of the TV set.
