    that's toast, unfortunately. it's ringbarked, which will kill it.

    Above the damage is dead, it will probably resprout from below the damage but might look odd. You could try to get it to be a multi-stem tree by cutting it off a few inches above ground level and the graft union of course. Is it in a public area or in your garden?

    Things don't have to look the same / symmetrical to have beauty. Just remember that while the damage done by the kids is awful there tree might resprout and if you remove that's not on the kids.

    Google "Bridge grafting". Probably a long shot, but might be worth the effort.

    That's interesting about the bridge grafting - I found this link http://www.ladybug.uconn.edu/FactSheets/trees--bridge-grafting-and-inarching-.php which seems to describe it very well.
