FARMINGTON, Minn. (WCCO)

A 2-year-old Farmington, Minn. girl stabbed herself in the eye socket with a screwdriver and somehow escaped relatively unharmed.
[…]
[Her father] was with his three daughters at the church. He said Teagan was getting restless, and went into a room where children have adult supervision during the church service. Teagan somehow found a screwdriver, and a fellow church member saw it sticking out of her left eye socket.

“I ran over to her, and she was standing up and walking around and not crying,” said Neil Gislason. “It was very heart wrenching to see that. Cause it was deep. And I knew it, but I didn’t want to believe it. And I was hoping and hoping and praying and praying.”

An X-ray shows the screwdriver penetrated Teagan’s eye socket, five centimeters into her brain. Doctors removed it after four hours, with virtually no bleeding.
[…]
The family is administering antibiotics to make sure the eye doesn’t become infected, and Teagan will still be regularly checked out by doctors to make sure she isn’t experiencing any problems with her vision.

    Blond + screw driver to the head? OK, enough stereotyping. Let the facts speak.

    What some kids will do to get out of a church service. But she has the right idea, a screwdriver to the eye is much better then a religious brainwashing. 😛

    Similar to old lobotomy method. Way to treat attention deficit kids in the 1940’s, needle through eye socket.

    She’s a Christian girl so her brain was already useless.

    I guar-un-goddam-tee you that this will be cited as “proof” that “prayer works.”

    Exactly why Gawd didn’t bother preventing it from happening in “His house” will conveniently not be discussed.

    #5, THC,

    Ahh, but gawd works in mysterious ways. A little while ago, he jumped out and scared me half to death. Of course, he was dressed as my eight yr old kid with her Halloween mask on, but I still crapped myself.

    Now, if only I could get the answer to why the hell gawd is wearing my kid’s clothes.

    Someone must have told her “Hey Teagan, you’ve got to have a screw loose”…

    #1-6: 😀

    That is what they get for naming their daughter after a porn star.

    What is wrong with all of you? Do you hate god or christians so much that your making fun of a 2 year old? Shame on you all, your all a bunch of clowns. Seriously.

  10. Jägermeister says:

    #9 – shameonallofyou!!!

    Irony.

    #11

    Love you too.

  13. jagerduche says:

    #12- Thats funny! Thanks. Oh wait, which sign am I holding? JK. Thanks Meister. BTW. Your not a DB.

    I’m quite amazed at the joking that revolved around this small child. All of you must have had sharp objects stuck in your heads (or other places) to resort to this type of needling. Grow up a little. Pick on somebody your own size. Or better yet, let someone come over and jab you in the head and see how you like it. Then again, it might be a vast improvement in all of your personalities.
    Once again, from your comments, I see further proof of the dumbing down of America. With people like you around we’re virtually all doomed.

    Fortunately the child survived the accident. Hopefully there won’t be any lasting after effects.
    I would have made fun if it were a politician this had happened to though.
    “How can we let a mindless vegetable with no will of his own be Mayor of this city?”
    “No one’s complained yet.”
