Mom faces criminal charges son seriously injured

LE think that it may be an M80 that left a little 4 year old boy severly injured after his mother left him home alone.

Adonneka Gilchrist left her son home alone and he blew up a "firecracker" she had left on a coffee table. The little boy lost a thumb, and three fingers, and is blinded in one eye and had his eardrum shattered. Also found at the home was a semiautomatic pistol that was stolen. Ms. Gilchrist is facing a slew of charges.

How awful! I hope that child never gets returned to his mother. Lock her up and throw away the key.

Take this child away from his birth unit.
He needs to be placed in a loving, caring, SAFE home.

A firecracker on the table, and a 6 year old home alone?? Why do people think there are laws about leaving children home alone??? I hope this poor little guy is able to make a good recovery from this.
