After Boy, 8, shot sister, mom went back to work.

Hayesville- A prosecutor says an 8 year-old Ohio boy loaded a riffle, repeatedly shot his sister at home and then informed their mother, who left work to check the girl's injuries, cleaned up a bloody bed cover and then returned to work, leaving the children alone again.

The woman,27-year-old Alyssa Edwards, is jailed on child endangerment charges related to the Saturday shooting in Hayesville, about 113km southwest of Cleveland.

The Ashland Times-Gazette(local newspaper) reports that Edwards tearfully appeared in court on Monday and said there was no information the judge needed to consider. The judge set her bond at $30 000. An attorney is being appointed for her, for her Monday arraignment.

The girl(sister of the boy) remained hospitalised on Monday in a stable condition. Ashland County Sheriff's Chief, Deputy Carl Richert says the girl's injuries are not considered life-threating. No other details about the girl's injuries have been released . Her brother is in the custody of children's services.

One would argue that the mother was protecting her son by not reporting the matter to the authorities, but, to clean up and ignore the injured child, how can she explain that? Is the mother guilty for protecting his son or guilty for not attending to her daughter? It's indeed very strange the way she reacted but I'm sure she had reason, she's a mother at the end of the day. I''ll keep you updated about this story.
