ENDANGERMENT: James R. Blankenburg, 36, 105 Nadine Drive, Cheektowaga, was charged Sunday night with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Two juvenile boys said they and Blankenburg were playing games on the Nintendo Wii when Blankenburg lost a bowling game. One boy said Blankenburg asked him if he wanted to box, and the boy thought he meant the boxing game on the Wii. Blankenburg allegedly punched the boy in the nose and forehead. Shortly afterward, they went outside to play baseball, and Blankenburg allegedly became angry with the boy, grabbed the bat, put the boys arm behind his back and pushed him against the fence. The boy told police a crowd gathered, and he grabbed his things and left the party. Blankenburg was arrested later that night and held in lieu of $100 bail ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
