Father charged with shooting son in buttocks with BB gun

Mike Miller 2/13/2009 8:00 pm

An Oregon man faces a felony count of child abuse after his 9-year-old son wrote an essay in elementary school about the "painful afternoon my Dad shot me with a BB gun."

The boy's teacher, as all teachers are required to do, reported the suspected child abuse and gave the boy's classroom essay to Dane County Sheriff's Office Detective William Hendrickson.

The boy wrote that his mother could hear him scream from the road and said being shot with the BB gun "was the most painful thing I ever felt in my life."

When detective Hendrickson spoke to the boy's father, he admitted to the shooting. He said he was trying to watch television in the living room of his town of Rutland home, but the 9-year-old was standing in front of the TV blocking his view and did not move away when told to do so.

The man said that he happened to be holding a BB gun, so he lined up the laser sight on his son's left rear pocket because he thought that would be more padded.

"The defendant stated that the round hit (the nine year old) in the buttocks and he jumped somewhat and moved away from the TV," the criminal complaint says.

An older brother, who was in the room at the time of the shooting, said his little brother "yelped and yelled ouch or 'aagh' and began running around holding his butt." The 9-year-old had a welt about the size of a dime following the shooting, the older brother said.

The gun was a mock-up of an M-16 assault rifle with a collapsible stock and several US Army stickers on it and was recovered from the home.

The father faces a felony charge of intentionally causing harm to a child, which carries a maximum penalty of six years of combined prison and extended supervision.

The father was charged with child abuse in 2005 and was put into the Deferred Prosecution program, which he successfully completed.

In court Friday, he was released on a signature bond and ordered not to threaten or engage in any acts of violence against his son and ordered not to engage in physical discipline of any child.
