I saw this article on MSN yesterday and have been thinking a lot about it since.
Police say a 4-year-old boy in southern Ohio shot his baby sitter because the sitter accidentally stepped on his foot.
Four-Year-Old Boy Shoots His Baby SitterPolice in Jackson, Ohio, say an angry 4-year-old Ohio boy grabbed a gun from a closet and shot his baby sitter. (Jan. 6)
Police said 18-year-old Nathan Beavers and several other teenagers were baby-sitting several young children in a mobile home in Jackson on Sunday when the shooting occurred.
Witnesses told police the 4-year-old retrieved the shotgun from a bedroom closet and shot Beavers. Police said the child was angry because Beavers accidentally stepped on his foot.
Beavers was hospitalized with minor pellet wounds to his arm and side.
Police say another teen was also injured with shotgun pellets.
Jackson County Sheriff John Shashteen said authorities are investigating the shooting. The child has not been charged.
After reading this I was left thinking that there is a serious anger issue in this little boy. For a 4 year old to get that violently angry is very scarey. Then I have to wonder why on earth a 4 year old would have access to a shot gun and why in the world he would have the knowledge of how to use it. It makes me really wonder what goes on in that household. I do hope that for his sake someone seriously looks into it.

Yes, evidently there are issues with the little boy and his parents or whomever is raising him. Very scary!
Many blessings!!!
I am probably just as concerned about several teenagers babysitting multiple small children. It does not sound like a good situation to begin with. I would be curious to find out if evidence proves that the event actually occurred as it has been reported.
