Anyone who thinks this is a sign of bad parenting hasn't really been around a 4 year old lately. The best parenting in the world won't keep the average four year old from occassionally doing something you tell them not to do.

And no, it's not inconsiderate to think the lawsuit is motivated by greed. Really, you think these moms need to pay through the nose in order to feel remorse? You think a 4 year old is going to grow up with no issues over having accidentally maybe contributed to somebody's death?

C'mon, the only time you sue when an 87 year old lady died after a freak accident is when you see dollar signs. Greed.
