I am terribly sorry for these parents, but their suit is misguided.

I can say from personal experience that even good parents who ought to know better can react in a dreadfully destructive way when confronted with depression or other psychiatric issues in their child. And I was the child, not the parent. Luckily for my parents, I wasn’t suicidal, and they did not have to struggle with the guilt these people must be facing. Unluckily for me, issues that significantly impacted my life went untreated as a result.
