11-year-old girl arrested for throwing toy gun at dad

[thundley4]

CRESTVIEW – A father tried to give his 11-year-old daughter a time-out, but she ended up getting charged with a misdemeanor.

Around 9:30 p.m. March 24, the girl and her 7-year-old brother got into a fight over who got to sit in a certain chair, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office arrest report. The father ended up escorting the girl to her room.

The man stood in the hallway watching her, making sure she wouldn’t try to run away out her bedroom window, the report said. The girl grabbed a toy gun and threw it, striking her father in the head and causing him to bleed from a laceration on his scalp.

The girl was charged with domestic battery and is due in juvenile court May 5.

Floriduh!!!

WTF?  Have parents become so indoctrinated against disciplining their own children, that they now call the cops on a preteen?

Sound like my kids.  But they haven't ever thrown anything at me.



Yet.

I used to hate kids... Then I realized that I really just hate parents...

Amen.  Show me a rotten kid, I'll show you a rotten parent.

ETA: Not a universal truth, but pretty high percentage, that's for damned sure.

In California this girl would be on medical pot and be given condoms at school.

Since liberal social workers lobbied to make it a crime to box the kids ear, the kids know they can get away with anything.

No...if parents really discipline their children, some busybody liberal will report them to Child Protective Services, and the parents will be arrested, and the children placed in foster care........

Sad, but often true.....

If I had even threatened my dad with something he would have popped me on my butt with his belt.

My parents taught my by the saying Spare the rod spoil the child. I am glad what they taught me has made me a better parent myself

Wonder if maybe the laceration was bad enough that the father went to the hospital for stitches...and the hospital called in CPS or the police and it was CPS or police who pressed charges?

Can't imagine the father pressing charges....he would be the one paying for his kid's attorney.

Sometimes the kid ends up in foster care because of it. Sad fact. I hate it when parents do not discipline their kids, when they run around in a public place.
