John Read, 5-Year-Old, Fatally Shot Self With Babysitter Melissa Ann Ringhardt's Gun: Police

A Texas teen was arrested after police say a boy she was babysitting shot and killed himself with her gun while she took a nap.

Melissa Ann Ringhardt, 19, was charged Tuesday in the death of 5-year-old John Read, The Orange Leader reports. Ringhardt lives in Vidor with the boy's family, who left him and a 6-month-old child in her care Monday afternoon, according to NBC News.

One of the nutters here said this morning that little kids lacked the physical strength and the coordination to be able to kill themselves with guns. Wouldn't it be nice if it were actually true?

Especially since gun owners are obviously too damn dumb to be responsible for the safety of children.

Orange County deputies say the teen put her semiautomatic .40-caliber handgun on a coffee table before going to take a nap. When she awoke, she found the 5-year-old lying on the floor in the living room with a gunshot wound to the head.

How much would this handgun weigh?

Obviously not enough to keep this little guy from firing it.
 
It's a shame, but people die thousands of times every day due to thousands of different reasons.

No law can prevent death.

And, its only a little kid, right? They're a dime a dozen.

Hell, its Texasss. I'm surprised the kids didn't have their own guns. You know, kiddy guns, pink ones for the little redneck gurls and GI Joe guns for the boys.

If only the 6 month old had been able to get to his own gun ...

They're called accidents and while measures can and should be taken to prevent accidents too often people are what they are, imperfect.

Using an accidents as evidence that the right to bear arms should be curbed is unsound.

If accidental deaths are your cause there are worse culprits than guns.
 
Around 800 accidents a year with a firearm. How many car accidents? Bathtub accidents? Kitchen accidents? Poison accidents? Etc etc etc.

for a 320 000 000 nation it is a very small amount. every other type of accident is much higher

If the kid was hit by a car, you wouldn't give a rats ass. The parents are gun owners, so they're probably tea party lunatics right? Given that, you're glad the kid is dead so shove your fake sympathy up your stinking ass........ :thup:

....faster than a Liberal on a school shooting

more crocodile tears fro the leftards?

WTF is wrong with you people? Why must you politicize everything?

Why is it that nothing seems to actually TOUCH the right wing?

Accidents happen everyday why don't you post something about every single accidental death and not just the ones involving firearms?

Maybe then I'd think your sympathy was genuine.

Would the child's death be any less tragic if he were to fall in a flooded creek, or have the president's limo run him down in the street?

Uh, no.

Save your faux tears. They lack sincerity but your agenda does not. :piss2:

What was your purpose for posting this story?

Why not post about all accidental deaths involving children?

Face it, you used this story to push an agenda. If anyone politicized this, it's you.

We don't BELIEVE you. and that what you post supposedly "touches" you and your ilk.

You LIE.
You could not care less about those 5 yo, 3 yo, 15 yo and so on - if they would be a 20 week old gestational age - you would be absolutely happy if the woman decided to murder her baby - by a curettage, not a gun.

Oh, maybe if she would shot the baby in the womb -you would be appalled?

Someone who makes a stupid ass blanket statement as this:

isn't worth replying to.

This is why the internet is so great. You can be laughing hysterically while posting something so hypocritical.
