Well I consider it murder for a parent to allow their child to die from an easily curable malady.

Depends on the intent of the one responsible for the death. For something to be murder, a person has to have died and the person who caused it had to be acting with the goal that the person died.

It’s why the commandment, translated to English is “you shall not commit murder” rather than “you shall not kill”.
