A Dad Was Arrested After His Toddler Was Seen In Surveillance Footage Playing With A Loaded Gun On Live TV
In disturbing footage of the incident, the child was seen wandering the apartment building halls in a diaper, unsupervised and waving the gun.
In the disturbing video, the young boy was seen unsupervised, wandering the halls in a diaper while waving and pointing the firearm, in an apartment complex in Beech Grove, Indiana.
Police identified the father to 13News as Shane Osborne, 45. According to jail records obtained by BuzzFeed News, he faces a felony charge for neglect of a dependent.
The footage, as well as the Osborne's arrest, was aired live Saturday on On Patrol: Live, a reality television show that follows on-duty police officers across the country.
Police responded to the apartment after neighbors reported seeing the boy with the gun — but after Osborne denied having a gun, the officers left after less than two minutes.
As they were exiting the building, neighbors insisted to police that they were certain of what they'd seen. "That baby had a gun ... He pointed at me and said, 'Look what I got, ha ha,'" a woman living in the building told officers in the live video.

The officers left after less than two minutes! WTF? There are two many bad cops out there. Perhaps that's due to a police shortage, but that's ridiculous and completely lacking in common sense.
Osborne allegedly told police the gun belonged to his cousin, who'd left it there, a claim officers said they were skeptical about. He'd previously been convicted of felony theft and forgery, he told police, which would make it illegal for him to possess a gun under federal law.
So the police were okay with that and were going to just leave? Or was that after they went back?
