A few years ago, a child showed up at the emergency room at my local hospital. He had shot himself in the foot. Two hours later, mom and dad were in jail, charged with reckless conduct. I arrested them. I charged them. Leaving a gun unsecured where a child can get to it is criminally negligent.
This story is tragic. I have a child of my own. I sympathize with the parents but they are at fault.
