I know I'm going to sound like an asshat here BUT....it was not too long ago that we left 8-10 year old kids at home by themselves all the time while the parents were out working in the back 40 or hunting. We've been so vaginized in this society to believe that children are helpless. We've made them that way through our coddling.
I have no doubt that I could leave my 8 year old daughter to baby sit my 3 year old daughter. Would I? No. I'd get raked over the coals if one of my hippy neighbors called CPS. My point is that I don't think it's that big of a deal that they were home alone. And obviously the mother has done something right with these kids.

To gsx1138, you only sound like an (_o_)_/\_ to the coddlers who think kids are helpless until they are 35:banghead:
I am a teacher and I have a student (college) whose mom still drives him to school everyday and calls me once a week to make sure he is doing his homework. He is 29!!!

I don't see it written that the home invaders were armed.
So, according to HankT, the boy should have held his fire and wrestled with the three thugs instead, and his little sister would've been just fine.
I have a baby sister. Well, she's married and has a kid, now, so she's not really a baby. But she's still my baby sister. And I will still do very bad things to anyone who threatens her. So I empathize deeply with the boy in this story.
HankT's postulate notwithstanding.

If the kid had some cough syrup and then defended himself HankT would be all over it.

It doesn't say they were unarmed either but it does say they threatened the kids so they must have been armed with something. I really can't say that two grown men facing to kids like this can be considered unarmed. Too many kids dying of child abuse from parents who are unarmed to consider this an unarmed situation in any stretch of the imagination.

Nay!
Mother of the year and a years free range time, the kid needs more practice
shooting center mass! I will give him the excuse that his little sisters
shaking moved his aim.
But stopping bad guys is not misuse of a weapon so the signed sheet
of paper doesn't apply. As for unarmed, the door didn't break by itself.

I never pass up a chance to encourage parents and grandparents to teach kids to shoot and safely handle firearms as soon as the child can safely hold a firearm.
We had a group of 33 youth and their adult leaders at the range last evening. Most of the youth had never touched a firearm before. By the time they left, each of the youth had the opportunity to shoot a variety of rifles and pistols from airsoft guns to .40 S&W. Not too surprising, we had more safety issues with the leaders than we did with the youth. The most common safety issue was keeping their finger off the trigger until they were on target.

Not intending to pick on anyone, and yes, he needs eye protection. The red line should be at the front edge of the benches. Also, if you look closely at the picture you will see that the "black line" is actually a gap between the concrete pad and what appears to be a wooden beam laying on the ground, so he is essentially standing on a beam which would limit the stability of his stance.rpyne wrote:Looks legit to me as far as the picture dictates, he's at the range w/ Father/supervision only one shooting, that little man is the active firing line..To be politically correct he's the length of his sneakers across the black line..

No finger on the trigger. I'm still working on that with her. Plus, she's begging me to take her to the range but she has to memorize the 4 rules first. My 8 year old.

Was it the boy who shot the intruder that got taken to the detention center, or the juvenile that was with the two BG's?
