This is completely ridiculous. On the other, what do you think about this:

Father Says He Shot Son With BB Gun To Teach Lesson

GROVELAND, Fla. -- A Groveland man explained to WESH 2 News how an eye-for-an-eye style of parenting landed him in jail.

Teorry Henderson, 23, told WESH 2 that he shot his 4-year-old son with a BB gun as punishment after the boy first shot his sister with the gun.

Henderson said that sitting in jail has given him plenty of time to think about his parenting practices. He admitted that he turned a BB gun on his son and shot him. He said he wasn't trying to hurt him; he just wanted to teach him a lesson.

MORE This was stupid, but I understand the guy's logic. I BB is unlikely to penetrate, but it smarts like heck. Sad thing is he may lose his kids and spend 30 years in prison for this.
