- Suicide where they missed the signs?
Yes, if they gifted the child the item used in suicide (gun, pills, noose) the day before. Then the child was caught googling suicide and the parents laughed and said don't get caught googling. Then on the day the child suicided they were told by a professional in some form of child care that they need to keep an eye on them and get them counselling regarding suicide in 48 hours. Then they simply ignored it. Yes they would be responsible.
- Vehicular homicide where they purchased a vehicle for a child that subsequently killed people through DUI, incompetence, etc?
Yes, if they were called to the bar by the bartender and told he can't drive home. Then they decide to leave him there alone with the keys to the car. Yes, they would be.
You are ignoring many of the factors that lead to the charge with your oversimplification in comparisons.
