11-year-old Tenn boy shoots 8-year-old girl over puppy

So we shouldn't be going after the parents for not teaching proper gun safety? I was always taught not to point one at another person, even if I knew it wasn't loaded.

Can you really prove the parent didn't teach it? The kid made a huge mistake, but we know children don't listen to their parents. I was told not to drink and drive. I did it anyway.

Thinking the same thing, was he taught, but went ahead and shot her anyway.

1) The father should have practiced gun safety by locking it in a gun safe and/or using trigger locks. Gun safety would have avoided this.

2) Sounds like trailer trash (and looks like it)

3) There's no need to remove the other children, Jon. You're such a drama queen. However, the boy should be tried as an adult.

Not being a drama queen - I leave that for Gil.

These parents lack parenting skills. They are a danger to the kids.

We don't know that, the kid could just be eff'd up, but Jon continues to lead Pitchfork Nation against the parents with no due process. Keep the sides divided instead of coming up with a uniting option.
