Message to all parents

Please don't judge when you read what I'm about to write. We all wish the outcome was different.

My sister and family went to Nashville on Thanksgiving to celebrate the holiday with friends on their farm. Everyone was excited to get out of Dodge and the kids were really excited to go to a real farm.

About two hours into the day the tragedy happened. The boys (age 12 & 13) were outside playing. No one thought they would have to watch them closely because they weren't babies. Well, my nephew got hit in the eye with a paint ball and is now blind in one eye. Parents, please keep your kids away from these things. I know they will think it's fun. If you find that you are going to run into an arguement over it, contact me and I will have my 12 year old nephew write to them.

This is so tragic and should not have happened. These paint guns are as lethal as guns with bullets and should be stored accordingly. Lock them up and use only when supervised by an adult.

Thanks for listening.
