And that doesn't indicate to you that this is being taken very seriously? It's "special treatment" if someone doesn't go to jail right now? Have they even established whose gun was involved?
There is nothing unique about a firearm involved in this case. It would be wrong for a parent to leave a chain saw running for children to walk into. And it is wrong for parents to leave a loaded firearm accessible to children. The criminal justice system should charge the parents and/or the firearm owner the same way they would charge the parents and/or firearm owner if they left any other object accessible that harmed the child.
