A Mattress, a Baby and a Loaded Gun

Some of the stories that a simple Google news search for the keyword “mattress” can return are quite shocking and this story from America is one such example.

The police raided a house suspected of drug dealing and were successful in finding small bags of drugs, scales and packaging material that all add up to drug dealing. One thing the officers didn’t expect to find was a baby sat on a mattress which was covering a loaded handgun. It’s horrible to think of a baby so close to a loaded handgun!

Arrests were made but not the mother so was left in her care, with a report being filed with the  Department of Children and Families.
