Troy Stewart andhis 10-year-olddaughter were on their daily bike ride about 7:45p.m. Monday whenStewart, 31, suggested they jump off a 15 footbridge. Stewart heldhis daughter Meagan Stewarts hand as theyjumped off the bridgeinto the Intracoastal Waterway, authoritiessaid.
這看起來似乎是一位父親為救治女兒的恐高症而付出的良苦用心。
周一晚上7點45分,特洛伊·斯圖爾特和10歲的女兒正在進行每天的騎自行車運動。31歲的斯圖爾特建議女兒和他一起從一座15英尺高的橋上跳下去,後來斯圖爾特舉起女兒麥奇的手,二人一起跳進了橋下的河道中。At first he said, `Do you want to do it or not? Meagan said.Ithought, `Its kind of high, and then hes like, `Trustme.
女兒麥奇回憶說:「他開始問『你想不想跳?』我在猶豫,他說『這裡有些高』,然後他想跳並說『相信我。』。」
Meagan made the jump safely, but her father ended up with abrokenleg. She rode her bike half a mile home and told her mother,MandyPotter. Potter called authorities who found Stewart waitingon theedge of Lantana Bicentennial Park.
麥奇跳下橋後安全著陸,但她父親的一條腿卻斷了。事發後,麥奇騎了半英裡的自行車趕回家通知母親曼迪·波特。波特報警後,警方趕到時發現斯圖爾特坐在LantanaBicentennial公園的邊上。
In his mind, he was playing, Potter, 32, said of her partnerof10 years. But I dont condone his childs play.
結婚10年的波特談起丈夫的行為時表示:「在他看來他是在做遊戲,但我不能寬恕他這種幼稚的行為。」
Stewart was not charged since Meagan jumped willingly.Officialsfrom the state Department of Children & Familiesplanned tointerview Potter.
由於女兒麥奇是自願跳橋的,斯圖爾特沒有被控告。斯圖爾特所在州的兒童與家庭部門官員打算還將詢問波特具體情況。
This is an example of what not to do as a parent, policeCapt.Andy Rundle said. And let this be a lesson toeverybody:Somebodys tried it, and its not a good idea.
警官安迪·陸德說:「這就告訴了做父母的什麼是不該做的事情。它對每個人而言都上了一課:有人已經嘗試過那種方法了,那不是一個好主意。」
Meagan said she was not upset with her father, but she plannedtohave a talk with him when he returned home from the hospital.
麥奇表示,她沒有生爸爸的氣,但是她準備等爸爸出院後和他談一次。
Im going to tell him I dont think he should have done thatandyou should have learned your lesson, she said.
她說:「我準備告訴他,我覺得他沒有必要那樣做,他必須吸取教訓。」
