Deputies: Girl, 11, attacks baby sitter
By IAN MORRISON/Staff Writer

BARSTOW — A baby-sitting job turned into a nightmare for a 34-year-old woman after a girl in her care tried to attack her with a machete Tuesday, sheriff's deputies said.

San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies responded to a 5:57 p.m. call from an unidentified woman who had locked herself in the bathroom of a residence on Western Drive, said Sgt. Doug Hubbard, of the Barstow sheriff's station.

The woman was baby-sitting an 11-year-old girl and her 12-year-old sister while their mother was at work, Hubbard said. The 11-year-old girl and the baby sitter got into an argument earlier in the day over feeding a dog at the residence, and the girl began to beat and then choke the animal, Hubbard said.

The baby sitter attempted to pry the girl off of the dog, Hubbard said. The girl then turned on the woman and began hitting her and kicking her, he said.

The scuffle between the two continued in the front yard, when the girl grabbed a small shovel and then a baseball bat and attempted to attack the woman, Hubbard said. A struggle ensued and the girl eventually managed to find a BB gun, which the woman was able to wrangle from the girl, Hubbard said.

The altercation continued until the girl then found a machete lying in the yard and began to chase the woman, who managed to grab the girl's sister and lock themselves in the residence's bathroom, Hubbard said.

The girl fled the scene on a bicycle and was apprehended at 7 p.m. without incident, deputies said. She was arrested and booked for suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon at the High Desert Juvenile Detention and Assessment Facility in Apple Valley, Hubbard said.

The girl and the woman suffered minor injuries in the incident, he said.

WTH is wrong with kids these days??   Probably her parents... or lack thereof.    Pathetic.  Really pathetic.

Wow.  That is far beyond normal bad teenage behaviour.  Her parents must be doing something to her.

The 12-year old sounded normal though.  Maybe the kid is psycho.  Bad parenting creates a lot of problems, but there are still kids born everyday that are just plain crazy.

I would guess that kid has her parent(s) wrapped around her little finger, and for a very long time. IME brats like that rarely turn out to be respectful older kids.

That being said, the kid still needs a severe ass woopin' It's never to late to start the action-consequences drill. I'm 6'6", 300 lbs, and I volunteer. Bring it on...

ok..

i can explain it in one or two words..

"barstow"
or
"apple valley"

apple valley is a small desert community with cheap living and nothing to do.   so.. as you imagine along with that comes white trash, rednecks, and bad parents.

barstow is same but a little bigger, and still nothing to do.

hmm..
I can see the baseball bat lying around the yard, even the shovel...but a f*ckin MACHETE?
Didn't know Mr. Voorhees had kids. Go figure.

The machete lying in the yard puzzled me too.  All I can think is that part of the yard is heavily wooded, and someone was doing some clearing??  Still very weird.

This kid sounds like a psycho.  She attacked the DOG?  WTF?

I expected the report to continue...


"the woman managed to wrestle the MP5 submachine gun away from the girl, at which point the young girl picked up an M18 Claymore antipersonnel mine that was lying in the yard."
