THE mother of the six-year-old US elementary school pupil who shot and seriously wounded his teacher in January has been charged with felony child neglect, a prosecutor in the eastern state of Virginia announced yesterday.
In addition to the felony indictment, Deja Taylor was also charged by a grand jury with “misdemeanour recklessly leaving a loaded firearm so as to endanger a child,” a statement by the Newport News prosecutor’s office said.
