A mother in Illinois is facing charges after a handgun was found in her child's backpack when he arrived at school. Marissa Embrey, 35, was arrested and charged with endangering the life of a child and carrying a concealed weapon in a prohibited area. Embrey, who holds a Concealed Carry License and a Firearm Owners Identification card, allegedly placed the handgun in her 5-year-old's backpack to take it to her vehicle but forgot to remove it before sending him off to school. She drove her son to school and placed the bag on his back, forgetting that the gun was still inside. A classroom program assistant noticed the handgun while helping the boy find his student ID. Police were then called and the firearm was recovered. School officials stated that nobody was hurt and that students and staff were never in imminent danger. Embrey was arrested and charged, and her child was placed in the custody of a family member. She was released on a $100 cash bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 13. The incident highlights the importance of responsible gun ownership and the need for individuals to be mindful of their firearms at all times.
