Parents who shot their kids with a BB gun sentenced
The couple, who cannot be named for legal reasons, regularly used the bizarre and frankly barbaric chastisement, Preston Crown Court heard. The pair, aged 50 and 33, would use the weapon on their five kids aged seven to 15 whenever they stepped out of line. The father kept it down the side of the sofa and would hand it to their mother to use when he left their Blackpool home. Jailing the dad, Judge Robert Altham said the gun created a climate of fear, adding: He appears in the first instance to have been the instigator of this bizarre and frankly barbaric chastisement.
One of the girls, 15, was shot in the leg when she refused to change her baby sisters nappy and another girl, 13, was targeted when she did not do the dishes properly, Preston Crown Court heard. She was also shot for having a boyfriend, as her dad said she was too young. On June 23, one of the children, 13, told a teacher at school she had been shot and had bruises and an open wound on her legs. She hid her injuries under her blazer or long school socks but said she did not feel safe at home as her dad had fired the BB gun at her. Social services were called in and the children were removed from the family home.

Ciaran Rankin, defending the mother, said: This was, on any view, a very serious way of chastising them. It was misguided, unlawful, chastisement. It began as a bit of fun and developed from there. Judge Robert Altham, jailed the father for two years and handed the mother a 19 month sentence suspended for two years.

What stands out the most to me, is how it started out as 'a bit of fun'.
Really? Shooting your young kids with an air rifle is fun?
