A Michigan man<\/a> was charged with child abuse this week after his 8-year-old son allegedly found his unsecured gun in their home and accidentally shot himself in the head.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In court Friday, state 36th\u00a0District Court Magistrate Malaika Ramsey-Heath said that Kayvon Barrett waited 10 minutes to call 911 after the shooting at his Detroit home.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Calls to 911 were delayed by 10 minutes,” Ramsey-Heath said, according to FOX 2 Detroit<\/a>. “The adults around were more concerned with their own problems.”<\/p>\n

A prosecutor said the boy\u2019s mother urged Barrett, “You need to call 911, or I\u2019m going to call 911,” FOX 2 reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I honestly blame everyone in this house for not being more observant of weapons that could hurt children,” the prosecutor added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Barrett was charged with<\/a> four counts of second-degree child abuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The boy has undergone surgery since the shooting Tuesday, and remains in critical condition.<\/p>\n

Ramsey-Heath said Barrett has been visited by Child Protective Services more than once going back five years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“There were findings of physical neglect and physical abuse,” she said despite Barrett not having any convictions. “The argument this resulted from neglect doesn\u2019t make me real comfortable he\u2019s not a danger to the children.”<\/p>\n

Other children were in the home at the time of the shooting, prosecutors reportedly said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Barrett\u2019s attorney said more investigation is needed, and said he believes that more than one adult had a gun in the home at the time of the shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His bond has been set at $100,000, and if he bonds out he will be required to wear an ankle monitor and cannot have contact with children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
