The mother of a 6-year-old was charged this week after her son took a loaded handgun to school and passed it around to other students in his class, court records show.
Ke’Erinie King, 22, has been charged with child abuse and child neglect or endangerment, carrying a weapon on school property and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to an affidavit.
She had the child when she was about 16 years old.
Yes, the article just flew right past that. This child had a child, and then for some reason decided she needed an un-registered gun to protect herself and her child from… ? Guesses? COUGHrapistinthefamilyCOUGH I dunno!
Okay?
I guess that kind of thing is normal and accepted in your area.
It’s legal. I’m also not into looking down on others. The ages were in the post already so highlighting it seems off.
Honestly, in cases like this, whether or not it is loaded shouldn’t be relevant. Obviously it’s more dangerous if it’s loaded, but it’s not like the kid knew either way.
it’s not like the kid knew either way
That’s why the mother got charged. She was supposed to know better. And leaving an loaded gun where a child can get it does make a difference vs leaving an unloaded gun where a child can get it
