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.

    Honestly this is a good example of where a justice system that doesn’t revolve around incarceration would be better. Obviously this isn’t a situation society can just let fly but what becomes of this child now that their mom is locked up? Nothing good.

    Edit: or maybe she isn’t, the article doesn’t mention any possible sentences.

      I’m afraid this will become more common in southern states with abortion rights under attack.
