'Whenever you have a child, and you leave a gun unlocked, even if there are no laws requiring a parent to lock up a gun, the prosecutor has discretion in charging,' said FOX 32 Chicago Legal Analyst Karen Conti.
"I think the message is going to go out loud and clear that parents need to be careful when they have guns in the home," said FOX 32 Chicago Legal Analyst Karen Conti.
"This is not holding parents responsible for the criminal acts of a child," said Conti. "This is actually endangering a child, to act reckless, and not to take care of a child as you should."This past week, the stepmother of the 9-year-old who brought a gun in his backpack to a South Holland daycare, where it went off, was also charged with reckless conduct.
In the wake of the Highland Park Parade shooting, the suspected shooter's father was charged with felony reckless conduct for allegedly helping his son get a FOID card.
