Parents Failing Hard 4


I think the state of Texas is getting pissed off that Florida has been hogging all the crazy and bad decision making. If you had a kid, let’s say a little boy about 14 years old, and he was shot. What would you do? Surely you would rush to the hospital and get that bullet removed or at least make sure you kid didn’t bleed out. Nope. Not if you’re Deborah Tagle of Santa Fe, Texas! If you’re her you head straight to the internet!

Tagle could be charged with a felony for waiting a while to take her son to the hospital after he was shot because he and his friend decided that guns were fun and something you should be aiming at one another. So moments later he was shot in the thigh because he didn’t have enough holes in his body and liked to whistle when he ran. So he let his mom know and she ran to WebMD to see what she should do.

"This is fun, right? RIGHT?!?!"

She went to the site that for years has terrified people with a head cold into thinking they have ass cancer to figure out how to handle a gunshot wound. As someone who has had their own mother attempt to fish out a broken pencil lead for an hour out of my hand I couldn’t imagine what this woman had planned. Oh, and that lead is still floating around in my body somewhere.

Cam jumped on WebMD to see if you could actually fix a gunshot wound through them and the closest we could get was a wound from a nail, splinter, or knife. Even then after 45 minutes of not being able to stop it bleeding the damned website tells you to take your goofy ass to the doctor.

Or tell your kid to Level +.

When I hear about something bad happening like this the first thing I think is “Wow, what a terrible parent!” Okay, that’s the second thing I think. The first is actually “What is this woman hiding?” You know that if your kid is shot and you jump on the internet for help that you are hiding from the law man for some other shit you’ve done. Seriously. Oh. Happy Mother’s Day!
