That's straight negligence
Just seen a story other day where the dad went in room to say hi to his son and his son who seems to have mental issues shot him dead in front of younger siblings..Friends with a family where the dad shot the son. Story he gives is the son was gone off flock. (That part I personally know is true as I witnessed the son)
One day the son and dad were home alone (son was like 17 yes old). The mom was with my wife I think, and the other brother and sister were gone somewhere. Dad says the son started acting crazy and came at him with a shotgun. The dad runs into his room closet and is trying to talk the son down. But the son kept saying he was killing the father. The dad wrestling to keep his room closet door shut. The son shot thru the door and hit his father in the hand and I believe the side with buckshot.
Dad remembers there's a handgun in the closet and grabs it. Son snatches the door open and dad shoots him once right in the head. Dies instantly.
Basically it is possibly the saddest situation I can think of, the funeral, the explaining, the hoping the dad doesn't go to prison (because he's a felon) etc.
The husband and wife still together and it's been about 10 years. Its been tough tho.
Man,why did I read this ...i got 4 kids.For instance like they forgot to put their seatbelt on and got into an accident. Or they left them in a hot car. Or mistakenly fed them something bad. Or whatever the case may be.
They didn't intentionally/directly kill your child, but they are clearly directly responsible for their death. Do you think you could forgive them and move on?
A close family friend of mine, their son or nephew's wife was home alone with their baby. Apparently they have a really high bed in their room and his wife laid the baby down on it and ran to the bathroom for a quick second. When she came out she saw the baby rolled off the bed and I think hit their head and ended up dying. That was their only baby. He is filing for divorce.
