    While this is a tragic death, I wonder if the parents would have reacted differently if a son had died?

      Hadn’t even considered this… Probably. If this is the same family I’m thinking of, they’re Mennonites, and it wouldn’t surprise me if a culture/religion that conservative puts far more value in male offspring than female.
