        The parents should be charged in this for allowing a gun to get in child's hand

        Charges should be filed against the parents any time a child dies due to guns.

        Video games, which was the root cause for this, and might have been a violent one, are worse.

        Where were the parents and why did their child have access to a gun? They are responsible to prevent children having access to a firearm.
