From Jefferson County Sheriff's Department:
Jefferson County Sheriff Paul Milbrath reports that at approximately 10:10 p.m. on July 4, 2009, the Sheriff's Department received a call of a child being injured by fireworks. The incident took place at W3382 Sunshine Rd. in the Town of Farmington. Helenville Fire Department, Helenville First Responders, Johnson Creek EMS, Fort Atkinson Memorial Hospital Paramedics and Jefferson County Sheriff's Department responded to the scene.
Subjects at the residence were having a 4th of July party, when one of the fireworks they were discharging struck a 12-year-old child in the head. The child was transported to Froedert Hospital in Milwaukee via Flight for Life with a head injury.
This complaint is still under investigation by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, and no other information is being released at this time.

And one more thing....the child is actually 11 years old so that just goes to show you how much you DON'T know.

I will say it again...you weren't there and are going on what one paragraph says. I know the whole story and you don't. The news doesn't even know the whole story. They weren't there either. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! THINGS HAPPEN AND WHAT PARENT WANTS THEIR KID TO GET HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A FIREWORK FOR GOD SAKES! Seriously people!

the "one paragraph" says they were discharging fireworks, and one of them hit the 12-year-old in the head. What more are we supposed to know in order to realize that the family didn't take the kid's safety into account?
