My understanding was the father and son were visiting someone. That someone had a loaded firearm that the kid found. The father did nothing wrong. The owner of the gun DID.
The careless handling of firearms by the general public is one of the reasons that we will see some gun control laws passed in this nation in the near future. Just too many stories like this. Seems to be a weekly occurance. Most of the time it is a child killing a child with a gun carelessly stored.
Anyone that owns a gun should be liable for all damages done with that gun if they store it carelessly. And criminal charges should be brought in cases like this.
