Where do you put the ball after this punt?

It LOOKS like first touching happened at about the 23 yard line. The kid gained possession at around the 3 yard line, where his momentum carried him into the endzone. It can't be a safety because of the momentum rule.
This is a tough one, but I'd have to say that the officials got it right. Give R the ball at the spot where they gained possession, and move on.
My books are buried somewhere, but I'll review the momentum rule sometime soon.

No first touching as K never did touch the ball.
From the angle we have, it's difficult to tell when the ball broke the plane of the goal line. If R gained possession in the field of play the ball should be spotted at the one. If he didn't it is a touchback. If the official was positioned properly on the goal line, he will be the only one in the house who would know when possession was gained in relation to the plane.
This appears to be a youth (little kids) game so maybe the officials shouldn't be overly technical and just rule touchback.
