US boy (4) shoots his babysitter

monkey9

A boy of four shot his babysitter in revenge for accidentally standing on his foot.

The boy grabbed the shotgun from a cupboard and shot 18-year-old Nathan Beavers in his arm and side.

Another teenager was also injured.

Witnesses told police the child was angry because Nathan accidentally stepped on his foot. He was looking after the child at a mobile home in Jackson, Ohio with several other teenagers.

He suffered only minor injuries but needed hospital treatment.

The child has not been charged.

Wait, how can a 4 year old properly use a shotgun, or hold it for that matter..

There is no point. Threads like these unless the OP actual has a point to argue/discuss should be moved elsewhere (IMHO).

Like all violent acts committed by children, this can be blamed on a movie/video game or TV show.

Jack Thompson's already launched a legal challenge.

Marily Manson. That bastard

My babysitter used to send us to bed before The Professionals came on. And we had to listen to her watching it downstairs.

Kids have limits, you know.

Unlikely, since he was disbarred a few months ago \o/

It says she stood on it accidentally. That's probably why he only winged her.

His baby sitter was a dude.

That's what he gets for doing a chick's job.

"Dude - you totally got, like, a chick's job!"

A few inches to the right and he wouldn't have been.

I bet they'll blame the new X-Box 360 game "Shoot the Babysitter with the Shotgun"....bloody typical

If you live in a house and keep your gun upstairs you have a chance to run and get your bullets while someone is breaking in downstairs. In a trailer you don't have that option.

Disagree. I think this has a really obvious argument

Should four year olds be allowed shoot their babysitters when they stand on their foot (by accident)?

Personally I think there's more to the staory that will prob come out later after the investigation.....like who really believes that the stepping on the foot was an accident?

Heh. Beavers.

Wish someone would launch something heavier than a legal challenge at Jack Thompson's head.

Good idea. Hopefully the kids aim will improve and he'll get a good clean shot to the face.

Overheal

Though if you think about it: if a 4 year old can kill someone with a shotgun, I dont see why Kurt Cobain couldnt kill himself with a shotgun.

The Saint

Have you ever read Nirvana's lyrics?

Overheal

not particularly. I was born in Seattle I just assumed it was part of my genetic memory.
