https://www.wvtm13.com/article/alabama-blount-county-child-shot-update/69960089This woman comes to our orchard with her kids every year, u picking peaches. Ive never mer her, my wife saysshe actually has maybe 7 kids, from 2-12yo. They live about a mile up the road from my mom. I wonder if the cops hadnt found drugs in the house if they would have charged her. I wonder if our DA wasnt running for higher office would she have been charged. Apparently the two older kids, 4yos, got the gun out of the closet and one of them shot the 2yo. Mom is in another room. Mom hears shot and goes in there and finds her baby shot. Mom goes to jail for manslaughter. I have a gun in my nightstand. I dont have a 4yo and i might do things different if i did. Matter of fact, we had my wifes neices 2yo and 4yo for about a month before Christmas and i put that gun up, just in case something like this might happen. On the other hand, i sure wouldnt have wanted to be the deputy who put the cuff on a mother who just found her baby dead. My opinion is it was a horrible accident that the mom has already paid for dearly. And the drugs found, probably in the same room, probably had alot to do with the charges being brought. Im not a fan of our DA either. She is a self promoter and that might have something to do with the charges being brought as well. Sad situation for sure. A bunch of kids without a mom or youngest sibling today.
