Just what the **** were those parents thinking :bored:

Apparently its common for kids to have guns in Kentucky...I have no words...

how ****ing stupid are these people

Stephanie Sparks paid little attention as her 5-year-old son, Kristian, played with the rifle he was given last year.

In what Sane world would you give a 5 year old kid a Rifle, The Person who gave the gun to the Kid has to take the responsibly along with the parents who let him keep it, it's just crazy. actually feel sorry for the 5 year old he almost certainty didn't have much idea of how much damage he would do or even have any idea of how to handle the thing in the first place

I know, I heard about this story earlier, I just can't even fathom how anyone would ever think giving a 5 year old a real gun is a good idea and how is it legal for children to have guns? :bored: I feel very sorry for that child.......baby really, who's going to have to live with the fact that he killed his sister because of his parents stupidity

Apparently is quite normal to give children real guns in this part of rural USA, In fact the gun in question is tailor made for a young child and is branded with the logo "My first Gun...."

Only in America.....................!!!!!!

OMG is all I can say....

Can America just ******ing stop being so stupid, and ban guns? They wonder why these things keep happening and they have such a bad reputation. They've themselves to blame.

Disgrace. Poor girl.

I heard this on the news this morning, apparently the Mum said the gun had been in the corner for a year, but she had no idea the gun was loaded! Wouldn't you check, and what kinda moron gives a 5 year old a loaded gun as a present.

I agree it will be particularly bad for the boy, who will most likely have to deal with the guilt and grief throughout his life's duration.

I'm lost for words so much over this I can't even. :bored:

Vicky
USA:
needs to go on your title heading


Its Fecking Typical of America

I saw this earlier what parent in their right mind buys a kids gun like that,he had already killed squirrels ,who would want their kids to do that?

Arista. :bored:

I have worked in America
it is typical.

I was on about you always telling people to edit their titles and all. You're not a moderator.

I worked in America...with kids...and at no point in time did I see any five year olds with access to guns. It's only typical in some parts I think.

Jesus Christ. That's horrendous.

I did too annie,what did you do there? or is that too nosey:hugesmile:

Not too nosy Kaz. I did the Au Pair thing. Worked for a family who lived in Conneticut then we moved to South Carolina. One of the best years of my life...

Fair enough. Guns being legal in any case is barbaric but there are some complete morons in charge of certain states if children as young as 5 are allowed to access guns (and something tells me that he had this gun before that as well).

Nothing wrong with adding USA to the Title.
I was no Rude at Wise Vicky.

It's beyond words, I have nothing but sympathy for the children. A girl's lost her life and a boy will have to live with blood on his hands because of his parents' lack of anything resembling common sense.

Yes Fair point.


You need a Medal for working with USA kids,

I totally agree with you. It's crazy. When I was there, there was a community pool and one day one of the life guards was shot and killed at the pool whilst on duty in front of children's etc by her ex boyfriend. (I wasn't there but it was awful afterwards as all the other lifeguards were destroyed by it and a lot of the children had to have counselling).

I did that thing too,only I was a nanny to two kids in New York also one of the best years of my life,I really want to go and live over there.

I Blame his Dad
