clearly the Wii angle is only a way for the parents to scapegoat the responsibility that they clearly failed in holding. He thought he heard a prowler, so he took out his (?locked up?) weapon, but didn't put it back after, when they had small children in the place? They didn't find an intruder, so they just laid the weapon in the reach of a small child, without the safety on? If most people thought an intruder was around, wouldn't they have kept the pistol close (nightstand drawer?) by, just in case? Something just doesn't add up on this. Either they were really negligent, or something else happened (like accidental discharge while playing with it), and they don't want to go to prison for it. How would a 3yr old know how to handle the gun? Even if the kid had learned from Wii, what the hell were the parents doing letting a 3yr old play a GUN game that teaches how to handle firearms?!?? This is either seriously bad parenting, or worse, lies to cover up an accident from ridiculously bad parenting.
Also, people trying to say this is a reason why we shouldn't have guns at all or whatever, what if the kid accidentally stabbed themselves running with a knife the parent laid within reach after thinking there was an intruder? Would you want to ban kitchen knives cause of their bad parenting? Funny how gun control advocates never do the math of how many lives they save in the prevention of crimes when criminals are swayed away from a residence that advertises they are armed(property protected by smith and wesson, etc..), or ran away after the victim pulls a gun ..... Remember, the trigger doesn't pull itself, and it certainly doesn't point itself.
Lastly, this is a Fox "news" story.... take it with healthy dose of skepticism given their track record for distorting facts to sell ad space.
