I didn't say they deserve to die. I only said their death is the parent's responsibility for leaving them in a car parked on the tracks.
If a parent leaves a baby in the woods, no one would be arguing about "maybe bears shouldn't eat babies!" They would be saying "Maybe you shouldn't leave your baby unattended in the woods!"
Leave a baby in the woods, it dies. Leave a baby on the train tracks, it dies. In both cases, it's the negligent parent's fault. Not the bear's or the train's.
Your concept of right and wrong is clearly detached from reality
I like this "the street car operator will make a baby die if they have to push a blocking car out of the way" strawman you have here
I find your insistence on excusing the irresponsible parent's neglectful behavior to be objectionable.
