No amount of family counseling is going to help here.

A Washington State man had to be airlifted to the hospital after his daughter shot him with a hunting bow because he took away her cell phone, authorities said.

The 15-year-old girl refused to let her father use the phone to call for help Wednesday evening, forcing him to crawl to a neighbor's house for help, KOMO-TV reported.

When officers arrived at the house in Tahuya, Wash. - about 35 miles west of Seattle - the girl fled into the woods with the bow and 35 arrows.

A SWAT team was called in to take her into custody.

Her 35-year-old father was listed in serious condition.

It’s the door slamming that bothers me. We live in a manufactured home. LOL

A girl shot me in the ass 60 years ago but it was called target practice!

Did you get her in the end?

Personally, they should leave in the woods (after shutting of her cell phone service) until she comes out cold, dirty and hungry crawling on her hands and knees begging for forgiveness. Or surround her with speakers blaring Lawrence Welk music until she cries uncle.

That's one of the funniest things I've read on FR. I'm hoping you work at Gitmo.

We live in a manufacture home also. There is only one functioning door left, mine.

Would not let Dad call on the cell phone for help. That is stone cold.

In retrospect, he probably should have taken away her crossbow as well.

That’s it! Ship her off to SPACE CAMP for life. She’s going to the Baikonur Cosmodrome for Astronaut training and then she is going to be booted off to the Moon/Mars, to do time. If she’s lucky, they’ll put her on the new SpaceX spacecraft designed by Elon Musk, CEO. Jail time doesn’t work, never has.
