An Indiana couple has been charged with child neglect after cell phone video obtained by authorities showed the pair telling a one-year-old baby to put a gun in her mouth. 

The baby makes firing sounds, as instructed by her mother, 22-year-old Toni Wilson, and 19-year-old Michael Barnes.

Authorities said they found the video on Barnes' cell phone... arrested, after he agreed to sell a handgun to an undercover officer.

The child's mother said this was only a pellet gun but police said the weapon was a .40 calibre handgun.

Both Barnes and Wilson face multiple charges in the incident, including child neglect and criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon.
