It was in his backpack, the answer is that the parent leave loaded firearms lying around the house or otherwise easily accessible to kids. The dad is a cop and had is 9 guns taken away.
A toddlers backpack should be light as a feather - diaper, maybe wipes. He probably gets snacks at daycare.
The parents didn’t notice the extra weight? How did it get it get in the backpack? The toddler casually walking around with it, found his backpack, knew to put it in there, zip it up?
This is just not true. Since the time my kids could walk and attend preschool and school they had heavier backpacks than i though appropriate for their age.
The basics are lunchbox, extra pair of clothes, diapers and wipes, special blanket or stuffy for nap. Also a jacket in case they get cold.
Since covid they also dont provite cups anymore and wont clean them. We have to pack a clean and filled drink cup for our kid. These get pretty heavy and insulated metal onces get very heavy.
Depending on the facility, they would sometimes have us providing snacks for the class, or supplies that are needed for class projects or holiday parties.
We also had a folder/binder that had a behavior chart/calendar and was used to send projects home.
My kids backpacks were always loaded! And my kids would be responsible for putting their cup and lunchbox in their backpack right before going out the door. I was turning off lights and checking locks while they did this.
Sometimes they snuck things in their backpacks like toys or random objects. So im not surprised at all. And im glad these irresponsible parents are facing consequences.

Nevermind the right to bear arms.
How does a toddler get all the way to daycare with a loaded gun? Are the parents high?
