Yeah... crappy parents who can't accept their own faults. I mean, I don't expect parents to be perfect, or else there'd only be one parent in the world (and his name would be Stephen Fry, although he's gay so he'd have to adopt).Mozza444 said:

surfix: any death is a tradgety, particularly a childs.
however what the fuck was the mother doing? did she not notice a weapon on the kitchen fucking table??
this is more proof gun ownership is a fucking stupid idea.

People often just forget this, even though it's very important.

The mother's probably right, in a way. A three year old probably did think it was a toy and decided to play with it or try and figure out what it was, as the three year old mind would do. The parents negligence is to blame here, obviously, but the thing going through the kid's mind wasn't 'this is a lethal weapon' but was probably 'I can play with this'. Kids think about that with a lot of stuff, she could have easily thought it was a toy and killed herself. If she thought it was the Wii Zapper than wouldn't she point it at the TV though? Maybe she thought she was pointing it at the TV, maybe.
Parents are to blame obviously.
Messed up thought: Maybe they wanted to kill the kid and staged it as an accidental suicide? I fucking hope not.

I was going to put in a '(besides a bullet)' but figured that would be in really, really bad taste and left it out without going back and fixing the sentence, oh well. She shot herself in the stomach anyway.-Marshall- said:
Anyone with the slightest bit of common sense knows that the mother's story doesn't hold water. First off, you can't mistake a gun for a controller. Second, what the hell was a loaded gun doing in easy reach of a child? And three, shouldn't the mother have been a bit more responsible and actually watched her child?!

Yep.
It's the owners fault for leaving a LOADED NOT-SAFETY-ON GUN on the bloody table. Don't even TRY to blame Video Games on this one...
No seriously? Who has ever thought of pointing the Wii remote at themself? Not me.
She was 3. She COULD have thought was a wiimote. She COULD have thought it was a phone.
Their's no point rationalising what she was thinking, the gun should never have been anywhere near the kids hands. Would have been better if she shot the git who left it on the kitchen table. At least then he couldn't do something so stupid again.
