Family Values?

Family Values? - 7

 

It should come as no surprise to regular readers of the Newshound blog that those who choose to deliberately break game and fish regulations are usually not the “sharpest tools in the shed,” so to speak.

Case in point:

A convicted felon prohibited by law from owning firearms or legally hunting didn’t let that stop him from an unusually bone-headed poaching attempt in Bay County, Fla. last week. 

In the course of a night-time stakeout, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers Dennis Palmer and Mark Clements witnessed a man instruct his girlfriend’s 13-year-old daughter to shoot at an agency’s mechanical deer decoy—twice—while her mother illuminated the fake whitetail with their pickup truck’s headlights.

The weekly citations report from the FWC did not name the subjects involved in the incident.

According to the FWC, all three were cited for night hunting and road hunting. Fortunately (for them), being incredibly dumb is (currently) not a criminal offense in Florida. Otherwise, additional charges could have been applied in the case.

Yeah, that's some real good parenting there... I would guess in a few years that girl will end up in the state's prison system for God only knows what, and we the taxpayers will be supporting her because of her parents' stupidity.

Wow that is an incredibly bone-headed thing to do, and to bring a kid into it. That's parenting at it's best I suppose.

This guy isn't going to stop until he makes the whole family felony's. I know family time is important but I'm pretty sure this isn't on the list of things to do

The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree. This is a nut that needs to be eaten to keep it from producing more stunted trees.
I personally believe both adults should be prosecuted for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, handed the maximum sentence and parental rights revoked for the mother. Give the child to her father, unless he's just another branch off the same tree.
