God in Heaven, Please Help Me: Chilling 911 Audio Reveals That Toddler Allegedly Shot and Killed Mother

Police in Florida have released the chilling audio of a man who called 911 in a panic after his toddler allegedly shot and killed his—the toddler’s—mother. Apparently, the child thought that the gun was a toy; he aimed it at his mother, shooting her in the face. She died instantly.

Some are questioning whether the toddler was capable of such a feat at all.

God in Heaven, Please Help Me: Chilling 911 Audio Reveals That Toddler Allegedly Shot and Killed Mother

WSVN reports:

“My baby’s mother, oh, um, oh, God … Oh, God, I can’t believe this,” said the caller.

According to Miramar Police, 911 received a call from Troy Bailey Sr., late Wednesday night, saying his 2-year-old son, Troy Bailey Jr., grabbed his gun and fatally shot his mother, 33-year-old Julia Bennett. All three were inside their apartment at a complex located in the area of 8520 Sherman Circle North. “He shot his mom,” Bailey is heard saying on the recording. “God in heaven, help me please.”

When the 911 operator asked who shot Bennett, Bailey Sr. said, “I was taking the gun from him. I was trying to take it from him … From my son, from my son. He’s right here.”

The caller went on to say how he tried to take the gun from the boy when it went off. “Jesus Christ, God. Why did you put my son in this spot?” he said over the phone. “Oh, God, no. He’s my life. I’ve never gone through something like this.”

    Regardless he owns the gun, he is guilty as much as his toddler. And BTW, we’ve all seen that video on youtube of a 2 year old shooting his father in the stomach in the middle east. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IjOchwW0js

      I care a WHOLE LOT about my kids…and have ALWAYS had loaded guns around. All you cry-baby gun banners need to look up the Eddie Eagle program that the NRA has for kids. It says: 1) STOP!, 2) DON’T TOUCH!, 3) LEAVE THE AREA!, 4) TELL AN ADULT! This could save countless kids’ lives. My children have been raised in the home of an NRA Law Enforcement Instructor. We don’t mess around with BS, we just do the safety training from birth. Too many libs think that guns kill people. People kill people. If you fear guns and don’t teach your children safety, you run the risk of them doing DUMB things with guns when they come across them at a friends. You have only YOURSELF to blame if that happens. It is NOT anyone else’s responsibility to train your kids to be safe. HELLO! Guns are TOOLS. TOOLS only damage when used by the UNINFORMED. GET INFORMED!!!!!!
      As far as the death of this woman goes, wait til’ you see the police report. This CAN happen. It could also be BS. As an officer’s wife, I’ve seen this happen both ways, so don’t be too quick to judge. In the meantime, I pray that GOD and JESUS shelter and comfort that poor child and his family. May GOD rest the mother’s soul and heal the family. In JESUS’s name I pray, AMEN!

    2 yrs old????

    i call bs there is no way a two yr old can pull the trigger on a revolver 6- 10 lbs. of force needed, and almost impossible cause the kid can not get his hands around handle far enough to put enough pressure on trigger

    if the gun was an autoloader there would have had to be a chambered round, the safety off, and the action cocked , and still would have needed to somehow put enough pressure on the trigger …….not an easy thing to do if you cant grip the handle

    i think daddy is lying plain and simple and , even if everything is as he claims, what in Gods name is a gun doing within reach of a child, or, for that matter, within reach of anyone except the owner.

    curious to find out if the weapon was legally purchased with all the necessary background checks ….i doubt it

    daddy takes full responsibility for this and death by negligence is the lightest sentence this guy deserves . throw the book at him

      pretty much covered everything-

      Only gun I can think it likely with is a glock since they have no safety other than the trigger, but even that is unlikely because the glock has the ergonomics of a brick and it would make it that much tougher to reach the trigger even with a short trigger pull and relatively light pull the kid would still have to reach across the trigger and lift the gun—–which if loaded, we would presume to be fully loaded and significantly heavier.

    how do you leave a loaded gun anywhere near are around any child, it takes a lot of pressure to pull a trigger, i am not saying this did not happen, but it sure sounds strange, most guns have several safeties on them before they can be fired, no one said if it was a semi auto,or a revolver,but either way it still would take a lot for a three year old to pull the trigger, and god had nothing to do with this tragedy ,it was bad parenting and stupidity, i am sorry for the loss of this mothers life and i pray for the family and the child, but this could have been avoided ,with a little commonsense.

If indeed he did, it is very sad for the little boy and his dad and all who love them and all who loved his mother. The father sounded truly devastated. I am sure he will be harder on himself than anyone else can be. Pray for all involved.

    Coming from an avid handgun shooter, I find this story at least semi-suspect, don’t you? Without knowing more details, which I hope will become available soon, I know of very few guns which, unless loaded, cocked, and with the safety off, a child could easily fire within a couple of seconds.

    Until more evidence is forthcoming, however, my thoughts and prayers are with the family in the midst of this tragedy.

      In addition to Glock’s Double Action triggering they also have a “Safe Action Trigger” mechanism as an added safety device. Hard to believe that a not yet 3 year old could have mistakenly shot this guy’s “ex” if I heard correctly.

      Way suspicious, but not physically impossible for a toddler to pull even a heavy trigger. I was present at a controlled experiment where this was proven. Also Daddy’s story that he was trying to take the gun away will explain GSR on both of them, which would tend to confirm his story. OTOH he could have arranged it that way. Awkward if his son has no GSR though.

      Note he’s alternately blaming his son, then Jesus. But it ain’t his fault; “Jesus Christ, God. Why did you put my son in this spot?” Well, God sometimes does allow murderers to be fathers, and sometimes idiots too.

      So whether this was an ‘accident’ (= gross criminal negligence) or murder, don’t ask God to play your patsy, and don’t blame your son. Either way it’s down to you, buddy.

      My Springfield Armory XD(m) has a grip safety as well. You have to have a firm grip on the grip to squeeze the safety enough with the palm of your hand so that you can fire the gun. A child doesn’t have big enough (or strong enough) hands to do this. Oh, and I _never_ leave it out where a kid can even touch it! (Detailed explanation for the anti-gun liberals among us.)

      SingerGuy don’t assume a child, even a small one, can’t do this with a two handed grip and some determination. You might be surprised.

      Also as you know because you never leave your gun(s) laying around, the safety features of a firearm, from grip safety to heavy triggers to firing pin blocks, should never be depended onto keep a firearm safe.

      For those who want to keep a gun ready at hand there are effective options to secure them from both curious innocents and wicked interlopers.

      @Kryptonite

      From the story this child is just 2 months from his 3rd birthday, so while he‘s ’2 years old’, he’s 34 months.

      I saw this with a little girl about a year older. Managed a stock double action trigger (stacking and a little gritty) while holding the pistol with both hands. I won’t say where or when, but the gun was made safe, no magazine, chamber empty (of course, to all of the preceding), and the firing pin removed, just because. The little girl was also taught to always immediately go to an adult if ever she saw such a thing laying around or in the hands of another child. Today she’s a fine, responsible young lady and mother, and incidentally a really good shot with pistol, rifle and shotgun.

      I wouldn‘t ever trust that a 34 month old couldn’t pull a trigger on a Glock, or 1911A1 with grip safety, or any fiirearm for that matter. Bottom line, we must keep our guns, like all other hazardous household items including cleaners, medicines, sharp tools, and the handles of pots of boiling water on the stovetop, well away from the children!

      Maybe, but I wouldn’t even draw the line. When there’s kids in the house the gun should be secured effectively. Not saying this can’t be on your person, or in a quick access safe, but must be child proofed and you don’t want to be surprised at what a child can do if he/she actually gets hold of a gun.

      “Honest Q: Was that a valid experiment, anyway? Didn’t emptying the gun make it significantly lighter and easier to handle for a kid that age?”

      A double stack semi auto IS noticeably heavier if fully loaded. Not so a single stack or revolver. Would it make the difference? I wouldn’t depend on it. And it only takes one round for everything to go horribly wrong. The kid doesn’t have to handle it with style and grace, just has to actuate the trigger.
      —-

      “I still think that guy is guilty as sin.”

      Probably. but if I was on the jury the prosecution would still have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. There’s a mathematical, if unlikely plausibility to his explanation to the 911 operator, IF the evidence supports it.

      Doesn‘t mean it wasn’t premeditated. Maybe he held the tyke’s hand near the gun while he pulled the trigger, or otherwise transferred GSR to the child.

      Or maybe he’s blaming his 34 month old, and then Jesus, because he can‘t yet accept that he’s such a wreckless, irresponsible moron.

      And maybe I‘d need the defense to establish reasonable doubt because I’m also having trouble finding it in this story. But then, we don’t know everything. What will the physical evidence show? What was this couple’s history? Were there violence and threats? Lots goes into establishing a case.

      I just pray this child gets a chance at a decent life from here on, poor little guy. I also pray the truth comes out and the consequences to this man are appropriate, whether it’s murder or criminal negligence causing death. Guess I’m not seeing any third option.

      Real fishy. I feel for the young toddler, even at that age he will be devastated. SAD.

      The angle of the path of the round will tell much when the investigation is done.

      I don’t buy his story. However if the Glock had been chambered it could have easily been fired by a child. Glocks have a poor safety. I would not even call it a safety. Trained officers shoot them off accidentally and even shoot themselves. Like the moron cop instructing a classroom of kids who shoots himself. Just another human being with a gun; they don’t gain super powers. I digress.

      Any Glock fanbois before you decide to slam me two things: 1. just look at all the expert reporting on Glock safety issues. 2. A Jericho 941F is a much better sidearm :P

      big pickle….I was kinda wondering about that kickback also.

      Truth is often stranger than fiction (just look at our government for verification on that)…but this doesn’t “feel” right.

      to: rahedge, when i was young around 6 more or less i got a hold of a loaded gun at my cousin’s house. i took it down stairs to where my mother and aunt were sitting and pointed it at them. there for the grace of GOD i didn’t pull the trigger. KEEP YOUR GUNS LOCKED UP AND UNLOADED. if you have children in the house, you better make sure the guns are safe or it’s on you.

      Can a two year old have the strength to even pull a trigger on a gun? I doubt he could aim it straight or even be able to remain steady with the kickback. Doesn’t sound plausible to me…

      Oh yeah, folks. Dad forgot to say the kid was Kal-El’s bro. His spaceship took the long route to Earth — planned that way by Jor-El to ensure at least one Kryptonian made it out. Yeah, yeah the kid is black… so what, RACIST!

      Liberals and commies love to use God’s name in vain. It’s a cover for every evil deed they commit. There’s plenty of kryptonite in store for this alleged wife-killer.

      For those questioning if a toddler can pull the trigger, yes they can. We don’t know what gun was used, if it were a Glock (as noted by another poster) it only has a trigger safety. Great for preventing a trained operator from shooting something unintended but still able to draw and fire within a moments notice but not great at preventing kids from using it. If it were an XD, a little more security, they’d have to have a good grip on the fire arm. In both cases, the gun had to have a round in the chamber. No way my three year old could charge my XDM. Not a chance. My wife has issues doing it. If it were a revolver, that’s another story. Especially if it was double action. If the story is true, the father is responsible for the death. I have a lot of guns, I mean a lot, but I am responsibly with mine.

      I still believe the story is fishy as well.

      Notice the call starts out….”My baby’s mama…” not my wife, or my girl friend has been shot, it’s “my baby’s mama”… How absolutely pathetic, this kind of crap is getting old.

      You are totaly wrong about the Glock, I own several. It has a fingertip saftey, that even my 10 year old (who is an excellent shot and hunter) has a probalem shooting. Apples and oranges son. The Glock is proving to be as the years go by as one of the most durable service pistols on the market. And by the way, it is one of the very few semi-auto handguns that will fire underwater. I won’t tell you the other 2.

      Nah. This may be fake, but if it isn’t, you can tell the dad himself placed the gun in the kid’s hands so it would shoot straight up into the air, though that part has been conveniently scrambled). The kid was trying to keep his balance and a grip on the gun by leaning against his dad’s body. For some reason, the dad moved away and that causes the gun to go off. There is no way this kid could have shot that gun without his dad’s help.

      Nope, sorry not buying it. A two year old is not strong enough to pull the trigger, let a lone hold it up and get a “headshot.” Anyone who has ever fired a gun can tell you this. Expect a correction in this story over the next couple of days. Regardless, the father should be at the very least charged with negligent homicide for leaving a loaded weapon lying around with a child in the house, but something tells me he will be charged with a lot more after the investigation is finished.

      Wonder what kind of gun it was? Could a 2 year old hold a gun steady enough to aim and pull the trigger? Something is definitely wrong here! I doubt that a 2 year old could pull the trigger. However, stranger things have happened.
