An Indiana man is facing a felony child neglect charge after his toddler son allegedly waved a handgun in the air and pointed the weapon at his own head with his finger on the trigger.

Footage of the child playing with a gun in a stairwell was captured by a neighbor's security camera and later aired on television.

A police search, which ended in the arrest of Shane Osborne, was captured on live film and broadcast as part of the Reelz series “On Patrol: Live.” The toddler did not harm himself or others.

The aired segment began when officers responded to a report of a child with a gun. They conducted a search of Osborne's apartment, located a neighbor's security footage of the child with the gun and arrested Osborne, according to a probable cause affidavit and footage of the encounter.

    1. @Indian Heart “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State ”
      That’s the first part of the 2nd amendment. There was no standing American military at the time, but a few years later, there was. So, America did like India, except they added the second part about citizen arms.
      We have a TRILLION DOLLAR A YEAR WELL REGULATED MILITIA now, so the reason for citizens being armed has been eliminated for over 200 years.
      The 2nd amendment idiots claim they have a right to kill others, and we have no rights at all!
      Every civilized nation recognizes the right to not be shot by a toddler.
      Except these Untidy States of Embarrassment. 👍☮️

    2. @Indian Heart this isn’t India, my constitution says I can bear arms because people should be able to defend themselves period. You don’t punish the victim for a crime the criminal commits

    3. @loganbaileysfunwithtrains : Thanks for saying that, I am sorry for the loss of parents , who lost their kids in American schools because of some idiots firing on innocent people. Do you think am happy about these kind of deaths happening every year in America , If law is appropriate , it can prevent deaths , Just imagine if someone have a gun and kill you , will you still object my point of view. Lot of psychopaths who are roaming can kill many families in America, Please do not let that happen.
