Son Shoots Dad After Mistaking Parents' Sex For Abuse
Boy, 16, Charged With Assault With Deadly Weapon
UPDATED: 10:18 am EST February 14, 2005
HOUSTON -- A 16-year-old boy was charged with shooting his father in their Harris County, Texas, home Friday.
The shooting was originally reported as a case of domestic abuse, but deputies said the boy apparently witnessed a sexual act between his parents and thought the father was abusing the mother.

Sheriff's deputies charged the boy with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a first-degree felony.
Detectives said the mother and father were engaged in consensual sex when the shooting occurred at about 3:30 a.m. inside the family's home. Investigators said the couple's 11-year-old son woke up to his mother making loud noises.
"During the course of love making, the wife was evidently being somewhat loud … loud enough to where it woke the children up," Harris County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Mike Smith said.
The boy woke his brother, who then walked into his parent's bedroom and told his father, 43-year-old Jacob Hughes, to leave his mother alone. Officials said that is when the teen shot his father in the arm.
Detectives originally said that the son said he fired the gun as a way of defending his mother during an argument he thought she was having with his father.
"The children interpreted the noise as their mother being in danger," Smith said. "The 11-year-old went into the room, forcibly went into the room, to protect his mother. (The child) observed his parents making love and got the 16-year-old. The 16-year-old came back in and fired the shot."
After investigating previous problems at the home, officials said there have been previous reports of abuse in the family and that father had been charged and convicted of domestic violence. Officials said the children feared their mother was being hurt due to their father's previous convictions for abuse and that is the reason the oldest son shot his father.
Authorities said they have not determined whether the mother was screaming for help.
"That is a very important question. I can see why you are asking that. We are trying to work that out right now. We are trying to decide if it was a passionate scream or was it a cry for help," Smith said.
Hughes was transported to a hospital to be treated for his injuries. He was released late Friday morning.
Officials said the couple has been married for 20 years.

LOL - I'll bet what happened was he was absuing her and the kid shot him for it, then the bastard convinced them if they didn't lie about it, they would put the kid in jail for a long time. I never met a 16 year-old that would mistake sex for anything.

I couldn't agree more. The Father was probably beating the crap out of her. But because of his prior convictions dip-shit knows he will go to the can unless she gives the cops a REAL good story. So because "I love him, he didn't mean to beat me, or its my fault he beat me not his....I should know better, blah, blah, blah." She decides to fry her son. Bitch!
It is a real shame the kid missed. Then the prick wouldn't be around to manipulate the truth.

It could be. I misread the article and thought the boy was 11. It was meant to be humourous. It wouldn't be the first time a child entered into his parent's bedroom and misunderstood wnat he saw.
What I find more interesting now is the free condemnation and name calling of the people who don't have the slightest first hand knowledge of the subjects

Unlike Smokin' Joe ... I completely and totally stand by my assessment that this clown was a "scumbag" and should have been shot in the past. :munchin
The Gag?? :D
The Love Cuffs? The fur lined ones, maybe?
I always misinterpret your posts when I read them... so I will ask before I waste my time replying. Was the above aimed at me for calling the father a scumbag? :munchin
Nope!! Believe me, I don't hide behind a keyboard. If I have a bone to pick with a particular individual I will do so by name.
I used to watch a TV show (CRS the name) with Daniel J. Travante. At the end of his briefing the desk sgt always said: "And be careful out there>" There was an undercover cop who always had names for his perps. I watched the show as much to hear the names as anything else, boar breath. That was humorous. I was once written up because a customer heard me call one of my associates "Ding bat". It was just a common term I used for all employees and not judgemental. What I see today is far advanced. It seems that to be proficient on some of the forums on the WWW one needs to attend a course in advanced name calling. :boohoo

Oh, I still think he should have been shot if not for this incident then the prior one where he was convicted. It takes ALOT now days for a person to be convicted of Domestic Violence due to victims flip flopping there statements. And rarely does a wife beater change there ways.

QRQ30-
Absolutely. I did not see your quotation of Joe's post when I posted that first response that you have quoted above. When I reread it, I saw you had focused on Joe's comments.
Therefore, that is why I had edited my original. I thought you had a soft spot for convicted wife beater's being called names. :D

The only thing I would disagree with is the term wife beater. When it comes to domestic violence, women are more often than not the abusers. It is even harder to correct this situation since what man is willing to admit he is beat by his wife. One of my sons was in such a situation and finally bailed out after 10 years. Nancy would beat the shit out of him then cfall the cops on him. :mad:

Sorry to hear that, but Good for him QRQ30.
Note- I consider Nancy to be a 100% scumbag too. She should be shot too.

Sorry to hear that Terry. I know the system gets manipulated alot by women. However, you don't get convicted just on allegations, there has to be evidence. What I see day in and day out are guys who beat the dog snot out of there wife's and the wife's just take it and refuse to provide a statement or testify in court.

I could say something here, but I won't! :D
Funny story.
Folks: I am going to start a new thread on the subject of abuse/bullying. It is a subject I feel strongly about and we seem to have a good start here. :munchin
The sequence of events is interesting. The 11 year old goes in the room, leaves the room, wakes his brother who gets a gun (and you have to wonder where that was stowed) then both boys go back into the bedroom. This entire time the parents are still having sex and the mother is still making noises and neither one has noticed their children are getting involved?
I'm with NDD and Joe. Somebody's lying.
