If anybody else had this happen to them they'd have numerous charges, have no contact with their child and child removed from the home, and be shamed to no end.
That's not quite true
Yep, and they are already covering for this bimbo because she's a female cop
Thats not true
@@RoddyRod34proof?
In hometown when I was younger kid and his friend was playing with a parent gun and he died nobody went to jail
I can't even begin to fathom the levels of irresponsibility and stupidity to leave a loaded gun in reach of a 3 year child
Well, gun owners are not the sharpest tools in the shed.
@@truegrit7697 lol, I can see critical thinking is not your thing
@@truegrit7697 Are you a car owner? Do you say the same thing about car owners when they kill someone in a crash they caused?...lol
@@truegrit7697 Lame.
@@truegrit7697 It happens alot.
Isn't it funny how she looks mad at being arrested? You would think she'd be crying upset her child shot himself and it was her fault.
cops have no sense of remorse as most are narcissists
She has a naturally harsh face it's a genetic mentality.
@@neckarsulme very few cops are what you described. You make a specific statement apply to a large amount of people. Obviously you had what you perceive as a bad encounter with the police. Next time you are in need of help, don’t call the police, call the ACLU.
It's funny how everyone assumes..😂😂😂
@KursedKlowne I would be devastated if I hurt my child or an innocent child. I am shocked she left a loaded firearm out with a child around. She is/was a school district police officer and they are not known for intelligence. The school district PD is where you go when no other agency will hire you. Since COVID and the BLM/DEFUND THE POLICE RIOTS, many great officers have left law enforcement, retired early or chosen to do something else. She had only been a “cop” for a year and a half.
she looks almost irritated and annoyed that they had the audacity to arrest her for endangering her son's life
I'd be mad at myself if this happened to me, maybe she is too
@@DaNuker being mad at yourself is an odd emotion for the death of a child
@@neckarsulme Yes, that would be valid but the child didn't die.
@@parasyte676 who cares? the kid is probably going to be messed up for life thanks to her
Where was the baby daddy? Mama can’t do everything on her own, cooking, providing and raising a baby all on her own? Where is the father of that baby?
B.S. She should be held to higher standards!
Yeah she should be fired and put in jail and not allowed to be a cop again.
lol, she will get a suspended sentence reduced to a misdemeanor so she can keep being an idiot cop
She will get the same sentence as anyone would, plus she will be fired. Every one should be held to the same standard.
@@wirepaladin4317 lol, follow this one and see how she gets the law enforcement discount, which means she will probably get off with a slap on the wrist
@@neckarsulme I surely hope not! But you would have to find out what regular citizens with no criminal record are getting. Judges and juries often sentence parents lightly who, through a neglectful, but unintentional act. Usually they get probation. I will follow the case. Remember, a regular citizen does not get fired, while a police officer does, and I have no problem with that. She knew better!
Can you imagine if she let a child in school be killed due to incompetence , she’s not a real cop !
You got a curious 3 year old in the house, and a pistol w/a round in the chamber left out and accessible to the kid....Worms for brains..
Exactly!! ALL 3yr olds are curious.. kids in general are curious. She was careless and neglectful.🤬🤬 Praying the lil boy makes a full recovery physically and emotionally. I'm sure it scared him... he's just a baby 🙏🏾😔
She's most certainly a Biden voter
Where was the baby daddy? Mama can’t do everything on her own, cooking, providing and raising a baby all on her own? Where is the father of that baby?
She was worried for their safety lol
All things considered even with only 302 neurons worms are pretty intelligent. That is an insult to worms!
They allow anyone to be an “officer.” Imagine how she treats kids that aren’t hers.
This woman is supposed to protect children and she leaves a loaded gun in the reach of a child.
Priceless.
Mother should of put her gun away and nothing would of happen. I just pray for baby makes a full recovery.
Damn you're smart
You don’t put your guns away
Where was the baby daddy? Mama can’t do everything on her own, cooking, providing and raising a baby all on her own? Where is the father of that baby?
@@cindylouwho9060 Here's the problem Cindy... Men like intercourse and thats all they want in most situations. unfortunately it feels better without protection. These women lie about birth control and will have a baby when you only wanted intercourse. Then they'll cut you off from the kid to get child support because they never wanted you. They wanted a child. THATS THE SCAM THAT CREATES THE SINGLE MOTHER HOME
@@cindylouwho9060why does that matter 🤡
She's already out of jail but I don't want her in school with a gun. She has no care in the world about safety around her own kids, imagine school kids. as others said, Why would you have a bullet in the chamber without the safety on, near a 3 year old child that was left alone? I find this suspicious, who would do that?
Alot of guns dont have safetys but she should have kept it out of reach.
she looks like a damn teenager, she didnt grow up enough to handle firearms properly
Negligence, child endangerment , unprofessional,
A Officer with no trigger locks or a gun safe and they have a kid 🤦
Doesn't look too concerned that her son shot himself.
Her eyes are glossy from previous crying. Clearly just a case of "resting b!tch face." I don't think her expression is supposed to be stuck on an over dramatic 'OH GOD, WHYYYYY?!!!' wailing mode until her court date.
Maybe you don’t know how a mugshot works?
Exactly what I thought
@@lemonlime8949 Explain the video. She did not exactly exude remorse when standing before the judge, who I might add gave her a far too lenient sentence. She looked "inconvenienced".
@@lemonlime8949 maybe you don't know what narcissism looks like?
In SF NM a police officers 3 year old killed himself with the officers service weapon and literally nothing happened to the cop. He still works for the department. There should be some neglect charge for not securing their weapons correctly.
That is beyond outrageous.
We have 5 kids ages 9-27 and we have always had multiple guns in our home, including pistols. We NEVER even set them down for 2 seconds with ammo in them, let alone chambered! When we get done firing a weapon outside, we immediately remove all ammo, double-check the chamber, and put the gun on safety. PLUS we teach all of our children from toddlerhood, that guns are NEVER to be touched without permission. And that if they want to see one all they have to do is ask. That way there is never forbidden curiosity. They are allowed to be around them and handle them from the earliest age that they can do so, as long as we are helping them and of course, there is NEVER any ammo in them. This is how responsible parents raise children with guns in the home. This woman was so incredibly irresponsible!
But yours is a ‘wrong’ belief system.
(I was taught the same way😉)
From a young age I remember guns being around. When I was 10 I got my BB gun. At 13 a 22 but had to attend hunters safety before I could shoot it.
Probably 15 various long guns in the house and at 1 point 4 handguns. Nobody ever got shot or even injured with 1 of our guns.
*56 yrs old and I still have all 10 fingers & 10 toes😂.
But with everyone trying to prohibit/ban guns, kids cannot be properly and safely educated on how to handle guns.
Go simpler tho. Growing up, I was shown the proper and safe use of all TOOLS. So to cut a log for firewood, I was shown how to use a sweep saw long before I was shown how to operate a chainsaw.
Or building a doghouse. Hand saws and even hand crank drill. Once I’d established that I could safely operate and respect the tools, I was shown safe operation of the corresponding power tools.
‘Baby proof’ the world and you end up with kids that hurt themselves the second you remove the bubble wrap.
Where was the baby daddy? Mama can’t do everything on her own, cooking, providing and raising a baby all on her own? Where is the father of that baby?
@@cindylouwho9060probably not around cause the mother wont let the father see the child
Complete stupidity!

@@cindylouwho9060 She probably doesn't know who the father is...
If I had done that I would have charges against me.
HOW DOES YOUR THREE YEAR OLD EVEN TOUCH YOUR GUN
The scariest part is that she looks unbothered in her mugshot 🤷♀️
You can't judge someone's feelings from a mug shot.
@@presto709 Well also the video of her court appearance does not show a person that is mortified that she caused a grave injury to her own child. It showed a defiant look of someone inconvenienced by the proceedings.

Now you're a body language expert?
@@presto709 90% of communication is non verbal...it's not that hard to read
@@neckarsulme
Reading people from a photo or a few minutes of video on the worst day of their life, is premature.
Pure negligence. No excuses.
Oh, jeez, I'm old. That "school officer" looks like a child herself! Man, too much of this lax attitude towards gun ownership seems to be leading to more and more of these kinds of accidents - often fatal. The stats were high at the get go! Pudding heads. Praying for the child's full recovery and mom to get a clue... 🙏
That judge is insane “you can have contact with your son but cannot be violent towards him!?” She shouldn’t be allowed near him and it’s illegal to harm him so that goes without being said your honor.
Haha there's is no honor in these so called judges
Where was the baby daddy? Mama can’t do everything on her own, cooking, providing and raising a baby all on her own? Where is the father of that baby?
She’s irritated that she got in trouble for almost killing her child. 🤮 Incompetent immature DEI hire.
Absolutely inexcusable and utterly unacceptable, the average gun owner/ carrier knows the first rule is never leave an unsecured handgun around any child. Shame on her and why does she look mad? I would imagine she'll lose her job over this.
That is so senseless. That person is going to live with this forever.
Why would she have one in the chamber ?
That's the condition guns are supposed to be carried. However, they should be stored safely away from children.
Because they live in Dade County.
@@tjmayer9103who told you that ??? Iraq a war zone , entering a base, Green zone, safe unloading weapons at the entrance.
USA, carrying loaded at all time untrained civilians, the advise of UA-camr soldier who never served/detective/security/gun experts/militia/bodyguards/nuts !!!
No need to carry chambered, awareness anticipation discipline knowledge logic. Unless in Ukraine war zone or on duty police officer.
@logicalsgt8829 Obviously, you know nothing about guns. If you don't carry with a chambered round, you're a fool.
@@tjmayer9103; but this gun was NOT being "carried", it was laying on a counter, withing reach of a toddler. As the saying goes, "firearms safety is not an accident"!
Clueless, negligent and a crimmal. How many times does the Court System let these preventable tragedies go unpunished ... obviously way too often because it keeps happening.
The mom looks so young. I thought she was a teenager at first. She broke the cardinal rule of gun safety. I hope the little boy will be able to walk again and be normal. Poor kid.
Fired her for negligence......
She should not be an officer
her mugshot tells me not to have children lol. she's like i'm so done with having kids. i'm going to tie my tubes as soon as i get out of here
I feel her
He wouldn't do that again
Where was the baby daddy? Mama can’t do everything on her own, cooking, providing and raising a baby all on her own? Where is the father of that baby?
I always locked up my guns when my children were minors. Leaving a gun just laying around with a small child at home shows me that this officer is not suited for a law enforcement career. Some police officers that did not grow up around firearms only see theirs firearms as a piece of equipment just like handcuffs. I would be devastated.
The handgun with light trigger effort is a recipe for disaster. 1895 Nagant revolver had very tight trigger in double action mode
@@mkrp4 most revolvers and most DA/SA pistols have heavy trigger pulls...the gun in question was most likely a striker fired pistol
@@mkrp4 Did some news agency describe that the weapon had a trigger job? Any kid around two can pull the trigger of any gun with enough force to fire it. Mostly they will use two fingers in my experience.
@@neckarsulme Did you mean to say “heavy first trigger pull?” Most have around an 7-8 lb first pull and 3 lb after that. Like you, I believe most likely a striker fired pistol as most guns on the market now are striker fired.
What about all the juveniles who shot people in Miami this year? Are their parents going to be arrested for all those shootings too?
This is one negative of having more people of authorities with guns because a shooter can take the guns from them.
Keep safety on around children.
Where was the baby daddy? Mama can’t do everything on her own, cooking, providing and raising a baby all on her own? Where is the father of that baby?
Man think about how small a 3 year old’s foot is and how big a bullet hole is.
Florida woman.
Should never be allowed to see that child again!!!
Where was the baby daddy? Mama can’t do everything on her own, cooking, providing and raising a baby all on her own? Where is the father of that baby?
When gun laws go wrong
when idiots are in possession of firearms
@@neckarsulme that would be the majority sadly.
So ridiculous.
I hope they make her talk to other officers about gun safety. Her story should be a wake up call for everyone.
I would expect more gun safety from a police officer gang members leave guns where kids can grab them😢
Something tells me she wasn’t too far gone from gangs and the gang mind-set before getting the badge.
Police officers are gang members
They just happen to have a badge
The police are just a state-funded gang. No difference between bloods and crips.
cops are some of the worst when it comes to handling firearms...they get minimal training in the academy and they let them go
Police officers are gang members
How IRRESPONSIBLE can one get ??😢

Reckless negligence💯
So sad, but these things happen in an instant. Prayers for all of them. 😢🩷
This sort of thing doesn't happen in countries with firearms restrictions.
Phew. At least it wasn't a book loaded with sentences and paragraphs.
A lot of people go to jail even after their crime was considered "punishment enough"
Damn, if only that 3 year old had a gun to protect itself from the gun.
Why does she look so angry? Is her anger with herself?
"School officer"...I didnt think an SRO is a real cop?
How do people like this end up with weapons?
I bet they will blame the baby ...
Officers are NEVER at fault
Take her gun rights away
All the glory be to God that her son was not killed. Whatever her reasons for leaving a loaded gun accessible to her 3-year-old, she and EVERY gun owner needs to take note and make sure they store guns unloaded and safely.
Why didn't God intervene when the unsecured gun was left within reach of a child?
guns don't need to be unloaded for safe storage
@@drk321 Short answer: My take is that, God gives us free will to make our own decisions. Also, I have learned that I can not use human logic to understand God.
@@neckarsulme I am in Canada, and we are not allowed to keep guns loaded. In this case, it would have saved her child some grief.
@@tijrus It doesn't change the fact that a firearm can be safe when it is loaded in a secure manner...I keep all my firearms loaded and safely secured in a safe...Obviously leaving a firearm loaded within reach of a child is a recipe for disaster from a person who has no business being in possession of a gun
Failed parenting almost killed this poor little boy
She had it sitting there loaded with the safety off with her kid wandering? Ridiculous. My son knew not to mess with guns at the age of 3, and I would never keep one loaded with the safety off within his reach.
~ Make America Florida.?? why the hell would we want that ?
better than New York where it's so "safe" they had to deploy the National Guard in the subway
@@neckarsulme that Peninsula Funny farm is on the News every day ~ they should deploy the Guard down there..I don’t live in either of those hell holes...
@@michaelwells7348 I don't either, but democrat hellscapes make the news a lot more often for violent crimes despite corporate media running cover for them...
You wouldn't know a hell hole 🕳️ to begin with in comparison to blue states & cities. Florida is not near LA, SF, Chicago, NYC or Portland. Keep sipping the Kool aid of sensationalised news. You can follow the trail of all the illegal activity of immigrants who crossed the border making a hell of attention in NYC.
Speedy recovery little angel 👼 ❤❤
The most important thing to remember is that up to the point this happened, she was a responsible gun owner.
Or put another way, everyone is a responsible gun owner... until they're not.
there are over 400 million firearms privately owned in the US...Legal gun owners are not the problem..statistically this is a drop in the bucket. Using this logic, you say something like "everyone is a safe driver...until they aren't"
@@neckarsulme But I would never say everyone is a safe driver. Just because there's legal ways to drive doesn't mean people driving legally drive safely or responsibly. In fact just the opposite, I personally think there are very few good drivers.
@@neckarsulme And to add to that, we're talking about humans which on the whole, humans are dumb and easily prone to hurt themselves and others. Also driving is highly regulated. On the other hand 2A is now read as "gun ownership cannot be regulated".
@@neckarsulme And even if you were one of the few good drivers, you'd still have to worry about everyone else driving.
@@RoughNeckDelta The analogy is the same...There are irresponsible gun owners that never cause anything bad to happen...But to say "everyone is a responsible gun owner...until they're not" is a red herring
Firearms are so common people treat them as another tool. They get left on a counter or table and forgotten for a while. It's a good idea to develop a habit of removing the bullets and storing them separately from the weapon as soon as you enter the home. Many more kids will have this happen to them before the year ends.
So you have a useless gun lol
@@justintime753 I get it. Seriously though I stored my pistol in one drawer of a locked filing cabinet and the ammo clip in another. At night I would take them out and put the clip in and leave the slide locked open and put it on my night stand. If I needed it all I had to do is push the release on the slide and a round would be chambered.
It just never stops and never will....
That is the body posture if someone who isn't worried
Self absorbed and a complete lack of humanity. She's a righty. Love guns. Loves self. Tough cop righty tighty mentality.
She should be fired, jailed, and child taken from her
Miami dade is special
Utterly shameful.. I would never forgive my wife for making such an idiotic mistake.. But it wasn’t really a mistake. She’s probably been doing this kind of crap for a long time. He was just old enough on that day to grab it from the counter and play with it. Management of guns Hass to be taken seriously.. I’m sure that this woman is remorseful, but her son almost killed himself, but she needs to be held accountable for her actions who leaves a loaded gun with children can grab it?
Where was the baby daddy? Mama can’t do everything on her own, cooking, providing and raising a baby all on her own? Where is the father of that baby?
There is something missing here. Her gated neighborhood certainly doesn't appear to be crime ridden. I have no issues with the Second Amendment or Florida firearms laws but even in Florida she could be considered negligent. Both the officer and the child should have been give a GSR test on the spot. Also, DCF should now be intimately involved with this case.
Too many guns.
We are a country of excuses for careless gun owners. Why is it so hard to hold people like her accountable? Why do gun owners defend people like her?
Sometimes having a means of protection can be a curse for some people.And sometimes having the means can be a curse for some people.
My God, girl, everyone has bad times. This is one of the biggest choices, like people leaving their kids in a hot car, there really is not much difference. There is a lack of safety responsibilities where there is no room for error. Sure, you Don t need to hear it, but sometimes we need to hear what we Don t want to. Good medicine for all of us. For your Son, Get Well Soon!!
I am SO THANK FULL The baby is okay.
HUGE LESSON LEARNED FOR THE MOM.
I beleive she was NEGLIGENT but I also think that God blessed them considering the baby will be okay.. therefore he blessed her . I beleive she has a good heart and will learn to better a mother and think the incident is enough consequence for her action .
She shot her son .... he didn't comply
Well, they threw the book at her for an accident as officers who actively participted in the murder of Elijah McClain walk free😮
HEY OFFICER, see what happens when you break the law! should have been more for your bail. anybody else they wouldn't care if it was a tragic accident they azz would be under the bus. so why should they feel you were punished enough! hope he has a fast and full recovery.
It's that judge who was reunited with her former Junior High classmate when his case came before her.
Court needs to impose mandatory tubal ligation so ensure she does not put any future kids of hers at risk. Some people should not be allowed to have kids.
Some ppl really don’t need to have guns or children if they’re that idiotic.
Sounds like a single mother struggling because her man isn’t picking up his own weight
And now states are passing laws to allow teachers to carry guns in schools. Accidents like these are just the prelude
rightys are ignorant
I've said it before and I'm saying it again, police should not have guns.
That’s stupid
@@miguelrobb5719 Explain why they need them.
@@christopherbasham1551 You be a cop without a gun on the south side of Chicago or the east side of Detroit. Hilarious. Cops need protection from murderers and dangerous criminals. I hear what you're saying English cops do not carry guns. In 2020 Chicago had more than 700 murders. In that same year 2020 The whole of England had less than 900 murders. England has 65 million people in it compared to Chicago's 2.8 million people. Chicago cops carry guns and they still get murdered. Gangland Chicago would round them cops up and kill every last one. How stupid can you get?
Got to keep those guns locked up
Wait... was she one of them there "good guys with guns", or whatever?
How the fk you leave a gun around a child? Where’s the father of this child? Was she tired and off shift?
Hopefully she learned a lesson from this. Hopefully she won’t put the kid down
I treat my gun firearm as a person, never leave without unloading it...At least that was taught back 80...take hunting safety..
This happened in Rio Rancho New Mexico, but it was covered up, and the kid actually died. No charges were filed 🙄
It is a tragedy and in Florida there are already laws on securing your firearms if you have children in the house, besides child endangerment charges the mother shouldn't be charged more nor be left without her rights as that would lead her and her child to be victimized. Really families should regard firearms more like hot stoves with children and teach them to not touch either.
She was charged? But she’s a US citizen. Doesn’t she have a god-given, iron-clad right to have loaded firearms lying around all over her house and in her pockets and her purse and her baby’s crib if she wants to?
Anybody can be a cop nowadays. You don't have to have any psychological standard. You don't have to even have plain common sense anymore.
No reason to ever have a gun in a home.
Guess you dont believe in self defense. Good luck waiting for the cops when someone breaks into your home, karen.
While accidents happen if she followed even basic gun safety standards this would never have happened...
He should have had his own gun. Glock just came out with guns for toddlers, Baby Glocks.
And Tennessee just passed a law allowing teachers to carry guns in school.... Shall we start taking bets on how well that'll turn out?
She doesn't look as bright as she supposed to be , with a child and gun Thats not secure.
the father needs to take custody.
@@KGRICK1 I know.
Police officers deserve respect…they serve and protect… how many officers are killed in the line of duty…. This mother made a mistake as happens in this world and she deserves to care for her child in peace when she goes home
Lmfao lots of parents have gone to jail for much less, they should be pressing the full extent of the law.
