Wis. Boy's Essay Leads to Charge against his Dad

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.

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.

who knows, the father could have been watching porn and the kid got in the way of a good part. Don't label him a bad dad until we know all the facts

In the neighborhood where I grew up a buckshot load of salt in the ass from a shotgun was a common way to keep me kids out of apple orchards.
