It was a tragedy police in Ocoee said could have been avoided. A 22-month-old boy found his father's revolver and then shot himself in the face.
There's nothing they could do to this man that would be worse than the torture he's going through now. Why can't we let people grieve?
How heartbreaking, I feel terrible for this family.

IMO, there is no reason for them to be grieving..this was 100% preventable....I find 2 problems and 2 reasons for lawful punishment, #1, why was everyone sleeping while a 22 month old was up and about? #2 Why was the gun not secured w/children in the home. I agree the man will have torture for the rest of his life..he and others that are this stupid should be made an example of and be punished by the law severly...maybe people that owned guns (and I do) would be more freaking responsible. This is just sickening!
Accidents happen.
My biggest fear when my daughter was young, was she'd get up while I was sleeping. I literally sewed velcro into her jammies and onto the bedsheet. Thousands of "almost 2 year olds" get up when parents sleep.
I don't know why the gun wasn't secured. Locking up this man for not securing his gun isn't going to assist him to remember to do it next time, though. I also think your kid dying is way more of a deterrant than jail time. Just my opinion, since I love my kid more than my freedom.

so using that theory we should just give everybody a pass as long as they feel sorry enough,
he was 2, he is dead, he is dead because he got hold of a loaded gun, it was not his gun, a 2 year old has no need of a loaded gun,
a 2 year old though does have need of responsible parents who do everything possible to prevent an accident,
this imo is a crime, one should never have a loaded gun in a home where a child could access it, if you feel the need for a gun then keep it away from the kids,
he will have to live with what happened, but the biggest thing he will have to live with is his actions caused the death of his child,
Heartbreaking.
There is some question of weather a 22 month old child could actually pull the trigger of this type of gun. The gun, from articles I read would have had to have been "cocked" as the child probably did not have the strength to do so.
