The little girl was practicing how to hide in a toilet cubicle should a gunman enter her preschool and start shooting.
Stacey took to Facebook to plead with people to consider stricter gun laws.
‘I took this picture because initially I thought it was funny,’ wrote Stacey. ‘However the moment she told me what she was doing I broke down. She was practicing for a lockdown drill at her preschool and what you should do if you are stuck in a bathroom. At that moment all innocence of what I thought my three-year-old possessed was gone.’
Stacey urged politicians to take note.
‘This is your child, your children, your grandchildren, your great grandchildren and future generations to come,’ she wrote. ‘They will live their lives and grow up in this world based on your decisions.’
