(108,955 posts)your kid's scalp with a utility knife instead of taking him to the doctor?
Because it turns out that it may not have been the dad who did it after all. His buddy Zeke says he did the little surgery, after first taking him to the nurse next door. She saw the injury and said she wasn't about to "slit" his scalp to retrieve the pellet, and that the boy should be taken to a doctor. But no one took him to the doctor till the next day, after Zeke's attempt at surgery failed. And then it was Zeke's girlfriend who took him.
Also, it's unclear who shot the boy. The boy or Zeke.
AND it's illegal to shoot BB guns in the city.
Still think it was an overreaction for CPS to decide to investigate the matter?
