I read the BBC News on line during the week in order to receive information from outside the U.S.--our media covers few international stories other than conflicts and airline crashes. Today an article concerning an 18-month baby, who was shot in the head with an air rifle by his 5-year old sister, caught my attention. Here is a quote from the article:
"While we are still trying to establish precisely what happened, this does appear to be a tragic accident involving young children," said DI Simon Vowles.
Somehow this hit me as a cop out. The article mentioned that the father of the children left there children unattended. However, there is no discussion about the father left a weapon within the reach of the children. I believe the father should be held accountable for the accident, not the children.
