The truth being he kicked the kid in the ribs?

And by other angles i assume you mean the ones from the other side which show the ball popping out but not the contact he made with the kids ribs?

I really don;t get why people seem so obsessed with defending Hazard. Yes the kid was laying on the ball theatrically and wasting some time (although he didn't deliberately dive on it like some make out). Yes the aim of his kick probably was to get the ball out rather than hurt the kid but you just cannot kick a ball boy in the ribs like that under any circumstances. Massive error of judgment and he will be rightly punished for it.
