Boy, 4, shoots babysitter for stepping on his foot
JACKSON, Ohio (AP) — Police say an angry 4-year-old Ohio boy grabbed a gun from a closet and shot his baby sitter. Nathan Beavers, 18, was hospitalized Sunday with minor wounds to his arm and side after the shotgun attack. Police say another teen was also injured.
Witnesses told police the child was angry because Beavers accidentally stepped on his foot. Beavers was watching the child at a mobile home in Jackson with several other teenagers and several other children.
Jackson County Sheriff John Shashteen says authorities are investigating. The child has not been charged.
6-year-old takes family car after missing bus
WICOMICO CHURCH, Va. (AP) — A 6-year-old Virginia boy who missed his bus tried to drive to school in his family's sedan — and crashed. His parents were charged with child endangerment. State police said the boy suffered only minor injuries and authorities drove him to school after he was evaluated at a local hospital for a bump on his head. He arrived shortly after lunch, Sgt. Tom Cunningham said.
It happened around 7:40 a.m. Monday on Route 360, about 61 miles east of Richmond.
The boy, whose name wasn't released, missed the bus, took the keys to his family's 2005 Ford Taurus and drove nearly six miles toward school while his mother was asleep, police said.
He made at least two 90-degree turns, passed several cars and ran off the rural two-lane road several times before hitting an embankment and utility pole about a mile and a half from school.
The boy told police he learned to drive playing Grand Theft Auto and Monster Truck Jam video games.
"He was very intent on getting to school," said Northumberland County Sheriff Chuck Wilkins. "When he got out of the car, he started walking to school. He did not want to miss breakfast and PE."
His parents, Jacqulyn Deana Waltman, 26, and David Eugene Dodson, 40, are each charged with child endangerment, Wilkins said. Waltman is being held without bond. Dodson was released on a $5,000 bond.
It was not clear if they had attorneys.
The boy and his 4-year-old brother were placed in protective custody.
"This really is a story of miracles," Wilkins said. "The Lord was with him, along with everybody else on the highway."

Michelle Obama under fire for not wearing black designer
January 26, 2009
BY KARA SPAK Staff Reporter
The usually celebrated sartorial splendor of First Lady Michelle Obama is coming under fire by a former runway model upset that Obama didn't wear an inaugural design by a black fashion designer.
Amnau Eele, co-founder of the Black Artists Association, told fashion industry publication Women's Wear Daily she plans to "file a formal appeal" with Michelle Obama's office about the lack of a black designer.
"It's fine and good if you want to be all 'Kumbaya' and 'We are the World' by representing all different countries," Eele is quoted as saying at wwd.com, the magazine's Web site. "But if you are going to have Isabel Toledo do the inauguration dress, and Jason Wu do the evening gown, why not have Kevan Hall, B Michael, Stephen Burrows or any of the other black designers do something, too?"
Eele told the magazine Obama had "seven slots to wear designer clothes. Why wasn't she wearing the clothes of a black designer? That was our moment."
This Amnau person kills me. Who gives a flying f*ck what race or ethnicity the dress designer was! Just shut up and enjoy your moment! The sooner people like her stop seeing the world thru "us vs. them" eyes, the sooner we'll all get along peacefully and judge each other on equal merits. End of commentary.
