Police Disarm Children with Loaded Gun: System Failure Highlighted

New Mexico police disarm two children found with a loaded gun. The incident, captured on video by Telemundo Las Vegas, highlights concerns about the state's child welfare system. Sheriff J. Allen stated, "If we did arrest the children, like we did that evening, they are released right away to CYFD. We don't have any power over that." The video shows officers carefully disarming the children, aged seven and nine, before taking them into custody. The incident raises questions about gun safety and the effectiveness of current procedures for handling such situations involving minors. The children were released to the Children, Youth, and Families Department (CYFD) immediately after the incident.
