HAYWARD -- A Hayward family didn't call police for more than five hours after a 10-year-old girl was shot because they thought she had started her period, police said Friday.
The sleeping girl was wounded in the buttocks when someone sprayed her home on the 27000 block of Tampa Avenue with gunfire about 2 a.m. Thursday. Bullets shattered the rear window of a car parked out front, while other rounds went into the home.
When the girl woke up in pain, she thought she was having her period, because the bleeding "was consistent with menstruation," said Hayward police Sgt. Mark Ormsby.

When the ass is bleeding the vagina isn’t more than likely it isn’t consistent with Menstruation.
Sounds like there needs to be better communication between family members.
Bullets fired into home, child bleeding ... yes, sounds like her period.
They are either lying or extraordinarily stupid.
Hey, just because they’re lying doesn’t mean they’re not extraordinarily stupid as well!
and just because they are Obama voters doesn’t necessarily mean they are extraodinarily stupid.
Oh.....wait.....
never mind.
Too drunk and high to have the police in the home?
Or too stoned out.
Bullets flying around the the house and you think the 10 year old is menstruating? My ass. This was gang shit and the family knew it. If you call scum like that a family
But they have phones.....Oh never mind.
Point well taken.
OLDER MALE FAMILY MEMBER: You mean it wasn’t her period.
Uh-ohhh.
She’s 10, only 10 for cripes sake,
I have nothing to add but I couldn’t resist reading the comments.... seemed like a special case of stupid.
Kids start younger these days. I was only 11 when I started, and I hear about it as young as 9 often enough to notice it’s a trend, not a fluke.
Um... Usually if you have your period and blood is visible you change your clothes and feminine hygiene product.
But I guess in this family, your 10 year old’s room gets shot up, and you leave her their sleeping, thinking “Oh, she got her period!” As the mom of a 10 year old, you help them out even if it is just their period! And you get them out of a room being shot at!
And we’re suppose to believe any of this?
That is not unusual. I started when I was 10 1/2 years old.
"The sleeping girl was wounded in the buttocks when someone sprayed her home on the 27000 block of Tampa Avenue with gunfire about 2 a.m. Thursday. Bullets shattered the rear window of a car parked out front, while other rounds went into the home."
So her home was shot up about at 2am and NO ONE NOTICED????
"When the girl woke up in pain, she thought she was having her period, because the bleeding 'was consistent with menstruation'... " So we have gunfire outside the home, glass shot out of a car's back window, a child wakes up in pain and bleeding, and they think she's starting her period???? Oh, that's right, "When the girl woke up in pain, she thought she was having her period..." Sigh, Oooookay, I don't know about this "family" but my kid would have been in PAIN and making sure everyone knew it. but they leave her be until...
"About 7:30 a.m., when the girl awoke, she was still in pain, unaware that the bullet 'was lodged in the pelvic area'... " Excuse me for a second
(now where did I put those hip waders? Oh, yeah, here they are. Damn stuff's getting awful deep out there.)....
...Sorry, I had to put on my (cough) shoes. "The parents then inspected her bed and saw bullet holes. They did a 'full body inspection' of the girl, found an entry wound and immediately called 911..." Oh, NOW they do what they should have done FIVE LOOOONG HOURS (5:00) ago. That poor child, left to suffer for all those hours in pain. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've gotten such an injury and it hurts like hell and leaves you curled up on a ball with excruciating pain in your gut that you wish would end somehow, someway. I wouldn't wish that on some one I hated, much less a 10 year old child.
"Investigators later spoke with the family's doctor and confirmed that the entry wound was 'rather small' and could have been overlooked if they thought she was starting her period"... I don't know about those law enforcement folk in Hayward, CA, but this should be sending up flares, balloons, rockets, fire alarms, whatever and someone should be placing a call to child protection services for the child's sake.
Like doc1019, Rides_A_Red_Horse, La Lydia, FrdmLvr, publana, 1010RD, Figment and MacMattico I think something is very, very wrong with these "parents."
Not to mention that doctor that is covering for them. He has to know they were lying to him yet he allows them to use that lame excuse.
