"A mother whose 2-year-old was accidentally shot with a handgun gave the boy Tylenol and put him down for a nap, waiting more than four hours to go to a hospital, police said. Sylvia Ann Alcozer, 21, turned herself in Thursday on charges of felony child endangerment. She was scheduled to be arraigned Friday. Nathan Vela, 2, was shot Nov. 11 by his 17-year-old uncle. He was hospitalized after the bullet hit his arm and went into his chest then stopped near his spinal cord. He had broken ribs and a punctured lung... According to a criminal complaint, Alcozer told police the gun discharged accidentally. He dropped it, picked it up and pulled the trigger without checking to see whether it was loaded, the complaint states. The mother 'told police that she only thought the bullet had grazed her son's arm and it only bled slightly,' the complaint states... The mother took Nathan to a hospital about 4½ hours after the shooting, according to police."

"The mother 'told police that she only thought the bullet had grazed her son's arm and it only bled slightly,' the complaint states."

That's perfectly reasonable. I know that if I saw a 2-year old shot in the arm, I'd just assume everything was OK and just give him Tylenol, too. She did use a sock to try to stop the bleeding. There's no need to over-react and panic in those situations. Sometimes, you need a few hours to calm down so you don't do anything irrational. It's much better to wait in a case like this. Personally, I think she should have waited a little longer. :icon_roll

What a sick sad person...I can't believe she gave her kid tylenol instead of children's tylenol. The nerve of some people...

[Stinkysteve]

I don't think the couple looked like that, too many teeth!

I would have given the kid Advil!

They should have cauterized it with a road flare.
