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.

Cold-blooded Teen Monster of the Week. (Of course, given the reliability of the MSM, there might be more to the story.) I hope it was a field tip, and not a broadhead.

Sounds like Dad chose to exercise parental discipline a few years too late.

Some years ago a 16 year old kid near where I grew up killed his father with a crossbow because the father wouldn’t let dear jr run off to florida with friends.

I’m betting there is a relationship with a male at the root cause for taking away the phone and for the over-reaction by the 15 year old girl.

Teen girls are extremely dangerous when caught up in an unhealthy illicit relationship with a male. They are not sane and they are extremely vengeful. If it’s not murder, it’s suicide ala Romeo and Juliet.

When are we finally going to ban bows? ...or is it arrows? --- maybe it's cell phones.

Did she take her phone in there with her?

When you have a SWAT team as a hammer, even a 15 year old girl armed with a bow and arrow looks like a nail!

Two years ago a 16-17 y/o girl's mother wouldn't let her go to Myrtle beach for spring break.
The girl went anyway and hasn't been seen since.

Yes, but were you involved in an illicit relationship with a male and was your brother a threat to that relationship?
