Louisville police said a mother waited two hours before calling for help after her 3-year-old son was shot on Tuesday.
Police spokesman Officer Carey Klain told The Courier-Journal the boy was shot with a .45-caliber handgun after he was in the line of fire during an argument between his mother and a man.
The mother, 28-year-old Laquisha Mosby, is charged with assault, criminal abuse, wanton endangerment and tampering with evidence.
Police also arrested 34-year-old Shawn Martin and charged him with assault, criminal abuse, being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun, wanton endangerment and tampering with evidence.
According to the arrest citation, a court order had banned Martin from contact with the child.
The boy was in critical condition at Kosair Children's Hospital.
Why you gotta go and mess with the ethnic food too?
Desperate women usually put their own needs and wants first and the kids suffer.

Funny. I, too, was raised by a stepfather after my dad passed when I was 5.
But, you know, those of us who are success stories in this context are not newsworthy. We just do what we do.
I’m good with that.

The interesting secret is that moms are almost as dangerous to kids. FBI crime statistics bear that out, but it's rarely reported on, and hasn't made its way into "common knowledge" yet.
I was thinking the same thing. I know wonderful lady who went through hell with her first husband, second husband was a slacker, but this third marriage she has a wonderful husband who loves her and her children, plus has a few more in the mix that are his.

Open door.
Push.
Right. As one who has been in that situation, I also agree.
My wife and I both admit that if we had to do it over, we probably would have held off until her kids were grown.
But thankfully it worked out, and I was a good male influence in their lives. Our older son just gave us our first grandson in April.
What a lovely couple.
A pat answer to every situation, is no answer at all.
“Nearly two hours later, someone in the child’s apartment called police, who arrived to find him with a gunshot wound to his right shoulder, and another wound on his side where the bullet went through his body and ricocheted back. He was taken to Kosair Children’s Hospital, where he remains in critical condition.”
Police found the weapon in Mosby’s apartment.”

Great. Now the taxpayers will be saddled with at least a million dollars in costs for the trial, incarceration, subsequent parole and welfare payments and “job training” (despite the obvious unemployability of these two), not to mention the medical bills and foster care bills and public schooling bills for the little boy, who will in all likelihood grow up to be very much like his parents. and the “mother” is most likely already pregnant again.
We just can’t afford this crap anymore. The “man” needs a single bullet to the head, and the “woman” needs the cheapest available sterilization procedure and a lifetime ban from receiving any form of public assistance — and if she commits crimes to support herself, give her a single bullet to the head as well.
And something tells me your daughter never dated a man who had a restraining order against having any contact with her children or anybody else’s children. Or who had a mile-long rap sheet, as I’m sure this sub-human baby-shooter already had. The really obvious stuff makes a big difference in the statistics.
There is obviously something deeply wrong mentally with any woman who keeps finding herself in relationships with violent, low-life scum like this.
It seems that your daughter was doing it for the right reasons. She wanted a strong man in her children’s lives.
I’m willing to bet she didn’t meet your current son-in-law at a bar or nightclub, and her “dating” was probably not the self-indulgent type of dating that leads moms to make bad decisions.
The fortunate outcome is probably not the result of your daughter’s “dating”, but rather he determination to secure what is best for her children.
I’m very happy it worked out, but I will stand by my original comment, which is that moms probably shouldn’t “date”.
Painting with a broad brush seems to be quite popular here sometimes.
Let me do a little broad brush painting myself and say I think the race of the people involved have more to do with this than any dating situation.
Well, you did add a "probably".
My daughter's new husband is a guy she went to school with, a widower himself. Almost 2 years after her first husband's death, they renewed their friendship. Sounds like a fairy tale but I assure you its real.
Our daughter visited here over the Father's Day week end (She lives about 300 miles from me and her mother) my son-in-law couldn't come, he had to work.
