What kinds of consequences? Grounding? Have my drone taken away?

Makes no sense. Kids get off easy. And can be less concerned with consequences.

Beyond the fine, the airlines will try to get their losses in millions back from someone. If it turns out to have been a private person, there will be lawsuits. In general parents are liable for their children. When a child is old enough to fly a drone on its own, I think it will also be of partial-legal age. Acceptance of manslaughter and threat to national security is not taken lightly.
Denmark doesn't work that way.
In which point is it different?
