ST. PETERS, Mo. — A St. Charles County woman is accused of leaving a loaded rifle in her toddler's crib.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Cheryl Darlene Dudley, 37, of St. Peters is charged with seven counts of endangering the welfare of a child, along with one count of child abuse.

Police went to the home Monday after someone reported seeing Dudley's 22-month-old daughter tied to the garage with a rope.

Police say they found a loaded rifle in the toddler's crib. Dudley allegedly said she put it there after hearing noises in her back yard.

Police say they also found narcotics in a dresser within reach of the toddler and a 7-year-old, and feces-covered living conditions.

1. What's the big deal?

Everytime I hear noises in my back yard, I put a loaded rifle in my toddler's crib. What gives?

3. I used to get tied up on the porch to play.

Folks never gave me a rifle, though...

4. Are you serious?

That's not right. If that is true, I am very sorry to hear it.

6. Really.

It was the Sixties - I don't think it had any effect on me.

Well, there is that bondage fetish...

5. That comes under the "Crib Is Your Castle" law

Every toddler has a right to stand his or her ground.

I was always suspicous of Teddy. I figured the bear was running a drug operation from my toy box. I do know he was also pimping my sister's Barbie to my GI Joes.
