Would you shoot your 8-year old daughter to win $1 bet?(0)
One on in their right mind would. But then again Angelique Vandeburg may not fall under that category. Last week, she shot her eight year old daughter in the thigh with a BB gun to win $1 bet from her boyfriend. The girl could not walk for the past week due to the pain.
On April 26 or 27, Angelique and her boyfriend got into a drinking session at her house. After she had a dozen beers, the boyfriend pulled out a BB gun and dared her to shoot the girl for one dollar. She grabbed the gun and shot her own daughter who was just sitting in bedroom along with her seven year old brother. The BB hit the girl on her high and then hit the younger boy. Even the drunk boyfriend couldn’t believe it and took off in a panic. The mother told the daughter not to tell anyone saying it was a “family thing.” It was not until four days later when a school counselor reported the incident to police a formal investigation started. Even after few days the circular mark from bruising was clearly visible, and Angelique was charged with intentional child abuse.
During her first court appearance on Friday, Angelique blamed it on the girl. According to her the girl was lying to get attention. That goes to show that some us of are not in our right mind even when sober.
