Stepdad PETER JAMES WILSON is being jailed on suspicion of 1st-degree murder charges in the death of his 5-year-old stepdaughter. Seems Daddy didn't like the way Mama was disciplining the girl, so he showed her what you should do by slashing the girl's throat. Looks like Daddy is laying down a mental health excuse as we speak. He's bipolar, see. Oh yes, sure. I get it. All the people I know with bipolar disorder--they like slash people's throats at least once a week or so. Ridiculous.

HOODSPORT, Wash. —
The stepfather of a 5-year-old girl who died after her throat was slashed with a knife has been ordered held on $3 million bail.
A Mason County Superior Court judge on Monday found probable cause to hold 29-year-old Peter James Wilson. The Abbotsford, British Columbia, man was jailed for investigation of first-degree murder.
Mason County sheriff's Chief Deputy Dean Byrd identified the little girl as Clare L. Shelswell.
According to a probable cause statement, Wilson and his wife were arguing about child discipline Sunday evening at a Hoodsport, Wash., house near Lake Cushman. He reportedly told his wife that he would "take care of it."
Authorities say Wilson took the girl downstairs and his wife ran after them when she heard screaming. Court documents say she found her daughter in a pool of blood.
Wilson told sheriff's detectives he has bipolar disorder and was taking medication.
The family was visiting from Abbotsford.
