As you saw in the .gif above he never kicked the ball boy whatsoever. His intentions weren't to kick the kid and he didn't so this really shouldn't be a big deal. If he intended on kicking the ball boy then that's a completely different story and I'd agree with you, but we all know that Hazard's only intentions were to get the ball and that he did without touching the kid.
Now I don't pretend to know every single rule in the football rule book, but I know in hockey accidental kicking (which is a lot more dangerous with skates) is a 2 minute minor; if you intended to kick the person it's a match penalty (a long suspension if you don't know what that means) for "Intent to injure". My point is that in hockey the intent has the be there in order to be deemed a very bad thing. As I'll say time and time again Hazard didn't even touch the kid so maybe a talking to from the ref and a "I'm sorry" to the kid would have been enough maybe a yellow or small fine if you had to discipline him in some way.
My next question is what would have happened if Hazard just stood there? The kid hold the ball for the rest of the game? He said on Twitter before the game he was going to do this so clearly it was intentional. Now I know if the club pays the kid off to do this then they get a big fine, but if they didn't and he acted out by himself, what happens apart from him getting sacked? He knew he was going to be fired for this, so that doesn't bother him, and he would have done what he wanted: waste time.
If this was a red card I'd like to know how (insert name here) wasn't red carded for intentionally kicking the ball as hard as he could at Van Persie's head. There's no doubt he kicked the ball and there's no doubt it his Van Persie in the head so why wasn't that a straight red and long suspension if Hazard is getting a suspension for this.
*sigh* I could go on for ages about all these idiotic rules and idiotic refs.
