Mother claims bicycle accident, authorities claim shooting
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — A Sheboygan woman already accused of shooting her daughter with a BB gun to win a $1 bet now faces charges of violating her bond.
In a criminal complaint filed Friday, 28-year-old Angelique R. Vandeberg was charged with felony bail jumping for drinking alcohol.
Vandeberg had been accused of shooting her 8-year-old daughter in the thigh on a bet from her boyfriend, after drinking 10 to 12 beers. She’d been free on a $5,000 signature bond.
Prosecutors say she was pulled over Thursday and admitted she’d been drinking vodka. Her blood-alcohol level was below the legal limit but she’s not allowed to drink any alcohol.
She was released Friday on at $250 bond on the new charge.
Vandeberg denies shooting her daughter. She says the girl bruised her leg in a bicycle fall.

Classic mainstream culture we live in! Just think people, those b-b's before we know it will be high powered ammunition. People like to deny what's coming but look at the society we live in today! It's easy to hide behind the keyboard of a computer and give an opinion, but, try going against the current once and actually make a stand and do something about the direction of our generations of people. Who's gonna make things all better???? The government??? They're partly to blame for the mess our culture's in. WE, the people are mostly to blame! It's happening on our watch!

I read the Sheboygan article, it breaks my heart. Even when parents abuse them, children lie to stay out of trouble. So so sad.

Another instance to support a mandatory license to breed for all citizens.

Snooty Rich Lady: "Murphy, who are those slovenly creatures at the door?"
Murphy the butler: The plumbers, Madam.
Snooty Rich Lady: Well, send them to the servant's entrance. We can't allow rifraff in the front door.

Gosh, how could we expect this fine woman to follow her bond conditions? If she is stupid enough to shoot her daughter for $1.00, how could they not think she would drink?!?! Another fine example of not-so-positive parenting.

oh. I don't know about the pay out. I'm sure he'll end up paying more than the bet. Typical gamblers...it always costs more in the end than you intend...
