    Brandajah Smith (5 y/o) Fatally Shoots Self, mother Laderika Smith charged

    A mother is behind bars after her 5-year-old daughter was killed Sunday.



    The child's mother, 28-year-old Laderika Smith, was arrested on charges of second-degree murder.

    Smith told police she locked her daughter inside the home while she went to the store. When she returned a short time later, she said she found her daughter lying on the bedroom floor with a gunshot wound to the head.

    Relatives are asking how the child was able to come in contact with the firearm.

    "You got to think first. If you got kids in the house, anything could happen. Kids do climb and things happen," said Smith's cousin, Verlinda Williams.

    Williams said she was at work when she received a call that her cousin's daughter had been shot.

    "When they told me that, I was like, 'Shot? How (did) she get shot? Where (was) she? She's a young kid, where could (she) be at to be shot?'" said Williams.

    Police said the child was home alone when she came in contact with a .38-caliber revolver.

    "I'm very shocked, and it's just devastating to know that something like that could happen in my family," Williams said.

    Why would anyone leave a 5 year old home alone, period? Not just the gun, how about knives, stairs, child abduction, wandering off.. fuck the list goes on.

    Good question. It's never happened here. I've considered running to the store a block away for smokes (when I was smoking) and my kiddo was sleeping, but common sense prevailed. If he'd woken up and done something in that 5 minutes, I'd not have lived with it. So different from 1970s parenting. My mother would go to parties when we fell asleep.

    That's why I keep calling these kids dumb.

    This shit is ridiculous. Do kids think these things are asthma inhalers? Do they think they're waterguns and they want a refreshing mist? What the fuck!?!

    I don't know. I think at 5 I knew what a gun was, would I have been smart enough to not pick it up? Maybe, but probably not. I would try and not pull the trigger, but what if I wanted to see what would happen? Maybe the thumbs were strong enough when the pointer finger couldn't do the job..

    Her story is spotty = shenanigans

    What do kids do when they find guns? Point them in their face and pull the trigger?

    Glad this bitch is charged. What a neglectful pos. Leaving a 5 yo home alone is disgusting. To leave her with access to a gun, well yeah...this happens. I actually do believe her it happened like.this. Obviously dumb, and have better things to do than look.after her daughter.

    My dad and grandpa always had a couple rifles in a corner near the door for when they went out hunting. We moved away before I turned 6 but I already knew not to fuck with guns. So did all the cousins around my age. I have no idea how they taught us not to touch them or I'd try marketing it like the new DARE program. Only, hopefully, successful.

    Every kid I've ever seen pick up a toy gun turns it the other way and "shoots" at other things. I've never seen a child play with a toy gun and turn it around and shoot at themselves. This is too fucking weird. I wonder if that was the only shot fired or did she only turn the gun on herself after she fired a few shots at the wall and various pieces of furniture? But even then wouldn't she fire on shot and think "Woah! Scary!" and put it down. This is all kinda of fucked up. I would only believe this story if there's GSR on the kid and even then I'd still be a little suspicious.

    THANK YOU!

    And I think one shot would be loud and jarring enough to convince the kid to put that shit down.
