Boy's Essay Leads to Father's Arrest AP/AOL.UK
Wis. (Feb. 18) - A father allegedly shot his 9-year-old son in the buttocks with a BB gun, a revelation that came to light after the boy wrote a school essay about the incident. The boy had written an essay about the "painful afternoon my Dad shot me with a BB gun." The elementary-school teacher turned the essay over to authorities. PIC & LINK Prosecutors charged the 36-year-old father on Friday with one felony count of child abuse. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 6 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The criminal complaint said the father told an investigator he shot the boy after the child didn't move fast enough from blocking the TV. He said he aimed at his son's rear pocket because he thought it would be more padded. "I knew right away it was a stupid thing I did," the father said. "I told my kids the only way I'm going to touch them is to kiss them, hug them, tickle them. I was very, I was not under the influence of anything. It was a very stupid decision." He was released Friday on a signature bond and ordered not to threaten or engage in any acts of violence against his son. He was also ordered not to engage in physical discipline of any child.    | |

I volunteered to help read "father of the year" essays turned in by children for a contest sponsored by the Minnesota Twins the year before last. It was pretty neat, we were given stacks of letters by age group and if any stood out for certain criteria we selected one or two out of each stack to help weed out the really good essays.
I had to flag one of the essays to turn back into the school to be looked into for a different criteria. It was the saddest thing I've ever read.  |

A friend of mine shot me in the leg with a BB gun when we were in grade school, and that shit hurt like a mo-fo...ol' dad needs to get his ass beat.... He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.

What did it say, Carrie? It was written by a little girl, probably 8 or 9 (I can't remember exactly) but the gist of it was, my father hits me for my own good. This is in a "father of the year" essay. |
