I remember when 10-year-old girls weren’t out hunting with shotguns. The parents should be charged with abuse….

BURLEY • A 10-year-old girl who was hunting with family members Sunday near Lake Walcott was shot in the face when she fell while carrying a .bolt-action 410 shotgun.
Cedar Glaesemann was taken by ambulance to Minidoka Memorial Hospital, said Cassia County Undersheriff George Warrell.
She later was transported to Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Medical center spokeswoman Bonnie Midget said she couldn’t reach the family Tuesday to get permission to release Glaesemann’s medical condition.
“We haven’t heard anything about her condition since she was taken to Primary’s,” said Warrell.
The 911 call came in shortly after 10 a.m. Sunday, said a sheriff’s news release. Deputies investigated and ruled it an accidental shooting.
The sheriff’s office “urges everyone this hunting season to be safe when handling firearms,” the statement said.

I hate to say it but if it was a wolf killer’s kid I have no sympathy.
Justin…part of me wants to agree with you but a bigger part has sympathy for this child. As much as I’d like all anti-wolfers off the face of this earth I don’t like hearing stories like this involving children. The parents have to be held responsible and no matter what their leaning in life they surely must, and deservedly so, feel devastated by this near-loss. Will it change their ways? Probably not. I do hope the girl recovers well and that perhaps she thinks twice about picking up a shotgun again.
Right, does she deserve to be punished for her father’s sins?
They say karma comes back on the children.
OMFG, are you kidding me!? Why would anyone let their 10 year old go hunting? I am so angry I can’t think straight!
