Mom forgets gun and bullets were in her kid's backpack. Lost custody of her kids.

[No Elephants]

In the backpack of her 7 year old son she left a 22 caliber pistol, a loaded magazine, 14 bullets in a plastic bag and a flare gun.

Thank heaven, no one was hurt.

The mom, Deborah Farley, 53, told police she had been, according to Browne, "out walking the streets of Queens late Wednesday night" with the guns in her son's backpack and she forgot to take them out.

She rushed back to school after dropping him off Thursday and asked the boy what he'd done with the gun, Browne said.

When the boy told her he'd handed it over to a classmate, she finally came clean to administrators, who put the school on lockdown and called police.

As it turns out, the boy had given away the flare gun, but police found the pistol, the loaded magazine and the bag of bullets still in his bag, according to Browne.

She was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child and criminal possession of a firearm. Seven plastic bagsful of marijuana were found in her home. CPS took custory of the 7 year old and his 9 year old brother.
