Anybody know who wrote this tale that starts: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>When we left for an evening out, my wife and I told our son, Kevin (age 12) when we would return and reminded him of our rules for staying home alone. He was anxious to prove that he could be trusted to stay home alone. We live in a very safe neighborhood. We felt confident there would be no reason we shouldn't leave him alone that night.
Kevin is a very responsible boy. We raised him well. We taught him to respect the life and property of others. We taught him that my guns were not toys. Kevin understood that they were only to be used under my supervision. He was an excellent shot. Because of Kevin's excellent eye sight, he could beat my score every time.[/quote]It goes on about the phone line being cut, someone breaking in, but Kevin can't defend himself because the guns all have trigger locks on them.
Of course, the parents could have given Kevin a key to the locks, if they thought he was responsible enough.
Anyway, if this particular story is true, I'd like to see links to newspaper stories. If it's not true, I'd like to know where it came from.
I don't think it helps our cause to be spreading false stories....
