Parental Responsibility

Good morning babies. Well, for the parents of an 8 year old boy in Westfield, Mass. it's not a good morning at all.

Today let's talk about being responsible parents. As parents, as our children grow, we have responsibilities. We are responsible for feeding, housing, clothing, teaching our children right from wrong, to be respectful of others. We are not responsible for driving them everywhere they want to go whenever the mood strikes them, or buying them everything they want just because they want it. We are also responsible for teaching them to be responsible for themselves.

(yes, I realize I've used the word responsible many many times in the above paragraph, but bear with me, there's a point to all this)

I have to question the actions of everyone at a "fun fair" this past weekend. What the fuck were this EIGHT YEAR OLD's parents thinking? That it would be fun? That it would whet his appetite for guns?

Because apparently it's quite alright to put an UZI in the hands of a child. The gun weighs more than he most likely did. A "certified instructor" was on sight, a "certified instructor" put that weapon in the hands of an 8 year old. How could this asshole not realize that the recoil of said weapon would be enough to cause serious or fatal injuries?

The boy died. The weapon recoiled, went up and it was over the second the bullets HIT HIM IN THE HEAD. No chance at a childhood or life. And investigators are calling this a "self inflicted accident"????

It's neglect and it's murder.

Gotta love "responsible" parents..................

Sick bastards.
