Every child believes his or her mom can fix every boo-boo. Sometimes that faith can be misplaced.

Consider the case of the 14-year-old son of Deborah Tagle, who received a gunshot wound to the leg in May 2013. The injury occurred when a friend of the family accidentally discharged his firearm.

Not being the kind of mom who is prone to overreaction, this Santa Fe, Texas mom had her son sit back and take it easy while she researched “How to treat a gunshot wound” on http://www.webmd.com. When her research proved to be unsatisfactory, Tagle drove her son to the emergency room — seven hours later.
