Stupid criminals: Only a Sconnie would be this stupid

FELDY: Two stupid Sconnies, A bb gun, a $1 bill, a case of beer and an 8-year-old girl. This can't be going i a good direction, right?

A brilliant 28-year-old Sheboygan woman is facing up to three years in prison on felony child abuse charges after shooting her 8-year-old daughter in the leg with a bb gun to win a $1 bet with her boyfriend. Not surprisingly, they were close to polishing off a case of beer when the bet was made. And, as any proud Sconnie would, the woman didn't want to be embarrassed, so she fired the bb gun into her daughter's leg, then told her daughter not to say anything because it was a "family thing."

Well, hopefully she can tell her daughter that sitting in prison is a "family thing," too.

The incident was discovered when a guidance counselor or teacher saw a bruise on the girl's leg and reported it to police. As if the story wasn't bizarre enough, the mother told police that her daughter was lying to get her in trouble. That lie should get her another year in the lockup if there's any justice.

But, it's Sconnie, so the lady will probably just get a slap on the wrist and a 12-pack for the drive home.
