Kids: Tough guy

Tough guy

By Anonymous - 14/08/2013 04:26 - United States - Austin

Today, my 12-year-old son was shot in the foot. After hours of not talking, including to the police, he finally told us that his friend accidentally shot him with his dad's gun, and that he didn't want to say anything because he didn't want to "lose any street cred by snitching." FML

Gun culture is fascinating

Today, my 14 year-old son asked to join my buddies and me at the gun range. The second I finished the safety lecture and handed him a pistol, he started twirling it on his finger (thankfully, it was unloaded). I smacked him in the head and took him home. Now he's moping and sulking like a bitch. FML

Today, while sitting in a waiting room, a man assured me "The safety's on" after he handed his kid his BB gun. A minute later, I practically had a hole in my foot. FML

Today, my teenage son broke into my gun safe, took my gun, and dumped the magazine into the side of his ex-girlfriend's family home. He's completely stunned that he was arrested and charged with attempted murder. My wife blames me and wants a divorce. FML

Today, I was babysitting an eleven year-old boy. He decided we would play with Nerf guns with Velcro tips. I shot him in the crotch accidentally, and the dart stuck to his pants, and he wiggled it for about a full minute before his dad walked in to find us both staring at his son's crotch, giggling. FML

Today, my 18-year old son decided to run his hand over our wooden fence to try and get a splinter, as he "forgot what they felt like." Last month, he stabbed himself in the arm with a sewing needle because he "forgot what an injection feels like." I raised this idiot. FML

Today, while at school, some jerk shot me in the foot with a BB gun. While in agonizing pain, I yelled, "FUCK" as loud as possible. A teacher walked by, oblivious to the fact I had just been shot with a BB gun and wrote me up for, "Disrespectful language". FML

Today, my son broke his arm roughhousing with his brother on a bunk bed. While at the ER, he thought it would be funny to tell a different story to each doctor and nurse, forcing me to speak over him. They found this behavior "suspicious" and reported us to child services. FML

Gun control

Today, our 9 year-old son managed to shoot himself in the gut with my nail gun. According to my wife, this is completely my fault, because I ONLY kept it in my locked garage, ONLY secured in its box, ONLY completely disconnected from the power, ONLY on the highest shelf near the roof. FML

He is going down a very bad and dark path. You need to have a serious talk to him and cut this bullshit out fast.

My best friend's little brother was shot by his "friend,", and they were 13 and 14 years old. The shooter got a slap on the wrist while the victim was murdered. The kid pulled a shotgun on him and pulled the trigger "to see if it worked." His parents had given him a shotgun with shells (and access to them) for his 13th birthday, "because he wanted it." They were off at the bar getting drunk the night this happened. And no, I'm not making this up; it's 100% true. So I ask, why the hell does a 12-year-old have a gun? Why does any teenager have a gun? I don't care if they want one; they are not of mature, sound mind to use them, not even for hunting. OP, get your son out of whatever mess he's in, report the kid to the cops, and pray he gets tried as an adult because he was fully aware of what he was doing. Just because they're teens doesn't mean they don't know how to use a weapon, and therefore it doesn't mean they shouldn't be tried as an adult. And while we're at it, get our yson some help.

They won't help their son, they have already given him bad pathways, if he was a good kid he wouldn't have got himself in that situation if he didn't meet bad friends in the first place. Yolo but poor parenting! I feel sorry for the little boy to have such dumb irresponsible parents like that. HE IS ONLY TWELVE!
