I don’t suppose they are also going to sue themselves for careless or maybe even toxic parenting? Because it is my opinion that if you have a happy homelife no matter how the rest of the world treats you, suicide is unlikely.
I wonder if this suit was originally even their idea, or if some ambulance chasing shyster came to them and said “I can get you million$$.”.
