Authorities: Girl attacked baby sitter with machete
Thursday, October 7, 2004 Posted: 7:55 PM EDT (2355 GMT)

BARSTOW, California (AP) -- An 11-year-old attacked her baby sitter with a machete during a struggle that included attempts by the girl to grab a baseball bat, a shovel and a BB gun, investigators said.

The girl fled on a bicycle after the attack but was arrested about an hour later and booked for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon, said Sgt. Doug Hubbard, of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

The 34-year-old sitter telephoned deputies after fending off the Tuesday attack and locking herself and the girl's 12-year-old sister in the bathroom of the Mojave Desert home, Hubbard said.

No serious injuries were reported.

The girl and the sitter had gotten into an argument over feeding a dog, and the girl began to beat and choke the animal, Hubbard said. The sitter tried to pry the girl off the dog.

The scuffle moved to the front yard, where the girl grabbed a shovel and then a baseball bat in an attempt to attack the woman, Hubbard said. The girl next found a BB gun, but the woman got it away from her, he said.

The altercation continued until the girl found the machete lying in the yard and began to chase the woman, who took refuge in the bathroom, Hubbard said.

Hopefully the police are investigating this family. There are some major red flags here that something is not right in this home...

On the face of it, this child seems seriously disturbed. Sad

sounds sadly as if this young girl may share the saem diagnosis as my young nephew (also 11 years old)

of course, my siters family does not leave bb guns and machete's readily laying around either

You know, I was just thinking, "Who leaves machetes and BB guns lying around where an 11-year old can grab them?"

let alone an 11 year old who appears to have such issues

trust me, it really sounds like this girl has some of the same things my nephew has, my nephew has been seeing a psychiatrist and a neurologist since he was 3 1/2 years old. It sounds as if this little girls issues were not being dealt with, if for no other reason then why the Hell would you leave weapons lying aorund with any child, especially one with risks like this? Maybe I am just being too presumptuous

Most families with "normal" children would not leave these items laying around in the yard. Like I was saying earlier, there are some major red flags here...
