The Sibley County Sheriff says that a man who accidentally shot and killed his 9-year-old son while they were hunting apparently mistook the boy for a turkey.

Sheriff Bruce Ponath says that Anthony Klaseus of Belle Plaine and his son Hunter were hunting turkey about three miles west of Belle Plaine around 6:30 p.m. Saturday when Klaseus shot his son in the chest with a 12 gauge shotgun.

Klaseus dialed 911 on his cell phone. Emergency responders pronounced the boy dead at the scene.

"He was absolutely panicked. That would be an understatement," Ponath said. "Very distraught."

Ponath said the shooting was an accident but that his department is continuing to investigate the circumstances.

As a part of "Wacky Week" at an elementary school in Wisconsin, the students are encouraged to come to school dressed as the opposite sex.  On the day the students came to school dressed up, a local resident called a Milwaukee-based radio station, the Voice of Christian Youth America, to complain.  The radio station criticized the school on nine of its stations throughout Wisconsin.

After the program aired, the school and school district office were flooded with calls and complaints.  Although the event was not called off, the school has decided not to hold the event again.

A man in South Australia reunited with his daughter 30 years after separating from her mother.  Just two weeks after the father and daughter met, they had begun having sex.

"John and I are in this relationship as consenting adults," Mrs Deaves told the Nine Network’s 60 Minutes tonight. "We are just asking for a little bit of respect and understanding."

If that wasn’t bad enough, the two have a nine-mouth-old child together!

From News.com.au:

Mr Deaves admitted that he "initially" thought having sex with his daughter was wrong.
"Emotions take over, as people no doubt realise, there are times during your life where emotions do rule the heart, it rules the head," he said.
"I knew it was illegal, of course I knew it was illegal but you know, so what."

The South Australian police have taken no action in the matter, but will continue to "monitor" the couple.
