A working phone number for Adamson could not be found Tuesday night, and online jail documents do not indicate if she has hired an attorney.
Lokhi Bloom died at a hospital following the Oct. 21 shooting.
El Paso County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Jacqueline Kirby says the child got hold of the gun. His death is not considered a homicide.
The mother was holding the boy in her arms when deputies arrived at the house.
