A Virginia woman, Deja Taylor, whose six-year-old son shot his teacher, has been sentenced to 21 months in prison on gun charges. The incident occurred when the child brought Taylor’s gun to school in January, severely injuring his elementary school teacher. Taylor pleaded guilty to illegally obtaining the firearm and making false statements on a government form. Prosecutors also filed state-level charges of felony child neglect. The sentencing comes amid increased scrutiny in the U.S. on parents enabling children’s access to firearms, with recent cases highlighting the legal consequences for adults involved in such incidents.
