From what I have seen, they should face much more than that.  Who the hell buys a 15 year old a weapon like that as a "Christmas gift"?  Then they don't secure it?  The mother sends a text saying (paraphrasing) "learn how to not get caught".

1.  It's illegal for a person that young to own a handgun.

2.  Supervision and education is a MUST.

3.  Firearms should always be stored securely and in a responsible manner.

My grandson (12 years old) got a .22 rifle for Christmas last year, however it is locked up in my gun safe and he only gets to use it when he is under supervision.  He has also been through a hunter's safety class and knows how to responsibly handle firearms.
