Of course we all need to use the bathroom. But look at how people are painting the scenario of how he accidentally fell. He was planking, or he was riding his scooter on the 2nd floor banister, or he was climbing on the banister to reach a ball stuck in the chandelier. Wouldn't an observant parent be aware of behavior like that, bathroom or not?
I did always take quick peeks to see what the kids were doing when they were little and I needed to be away in another room. I assure you that if one of my kids was riding their scooter on the upstairs balcony, I would have known. It doesn't take much to figure out an obvious DANGER like that.
This is not an instantaneous accident, where he tripped on his laces going down the stairs. This is something much more involved, and if the adult had been paying attention, she would have seen him attempting to retrieve the ball or planking or whatever it is he was doing. I am sorry, but when a child dies in a horrific way under your care, then you are partially responsible.
