The issue with the 15 year old is troubling. That should have made the father think a little harder. Granted, the 15 year old may have looked older, but still, it should have at least warranted a couple of more questions from the Dad. Why didn't the dad shoot the gun 1st or wait to see others use it? Did he? Was his kid the 1st to shoot this light weight UZI?
At least with the bungee jumping example, you usually see others doing it, and that makes you less apprehensive.
I wouldn't expect any jail time for Dad, once all was said and done, but he's the most responsible and had the most to lose. As a parent, the risk/reward issue needs to always be in the forefront.
