“Young Guns” – what really happens when parents aren’t in the room

In a one-hour special, hidden cameras revealed shocking examples of what children do when left alone with a gun in the house. “Young Guns,” a 20/20 report, aired Friday, January 31 and explored the issue of kids and guns. Interviews ranging from safe lock up to the demystification of children took place with parents across America. The special also included interviews with parents who have lost their children to unsecured guns in their own home or at their neighbor’s house, and kids who surprise their parents by showing them where guns are “hidden.”
