There's something fishy about this story.
How tall was the father? How tall was the two year old?
I carry a KelTec .32. Not much different from a KelTec .380. The trigger pull is pretty stiff, and at the angle the 2 year old would be reaching, or attempting to reach, into his father's pocket would make it very difficult to pull the trigger.
The toddler would have to reach up and then down into the father's pants (picture yourself reaching above your own head and then down into a bucket or something like that) unless the father was holding his son. And even then, the kid would have to lean down, and the father would feel his son's hand in his pocket LONG before the kid could get a grip strong enough on the pistol to pull the trigger.
I think the cop had his hand in his pocket fiddling with his pistol and is blaming his son for something he did.
