A judge could justify not charging the parents as guilty by saying that they put the older brother in charge of Doodle and he wasn't under their supervision at his time of death, therefore, they couldn't have done anything about Doodle's death.

Doodle had a condition that no one could control and they thought he was going to die anyways. His fragile skin made it impossible to really let doodle do anything but, big brother forced him to walk, run, swim etc. When doodle died there was no real way to stop this and the parents were not even near doodle when he died if anyone it's big brother. Even though big brother did not actually kill doodle

The parents weren't with Doodle and his brother. Therefore they couldn't prevent or help Doodle out of the situation. Doodle was bound to die one day and there was nothing really anyone can do about it. His brother knew if he kept pushing him the way he was, then one day he would push him too far and it would be too late and that's what his brother did. If anyone is being charged with anything it would be his brother for abandoning a kid with special needs and poor treatment.

The parents were not there at the scene so if it was anyone who killed Doodle, the older brother would be charged and so the judge would have no reason to be charged other than the fact that they let him out of the house.

Doodle's parents are not guilty because they didn't know where Doodle was and they weren't with Doodle when he died.

A judge could not justify his parents because it is not really their fault. Doodle was born with a condition that didn't allow him to really go outside and be a normal kid. During the storm, Doodle was killed because of the hard rain and harsh wind. Technically, it was the parents fault for they should have been watching him. Nothing went wrong in the past, when Doodle was being watched by his older brother, but this storm in particular, and other events I'm sure, effected Doodle in a severe manner. His condition killed him, there's no one at fault, so to say. It was bound to happen one day if the older brother kept training him and being too harsh with him. In conclusion, Doodle's parents are not guilty of his death, because of the reasons above.

Doodles parents are not guilty because even though they are in charge of Doodle, he had a disease that made him very vulnerable to outside and many other things. He died because of that disease and because of anything the parents did wrong.

Doodles parents are not guilty because they had no clue that doodle was out in the storm needing help.

Doodles parents are not guilty because they had no idea where doodle was and couldn't do anything to help him in the storm. Also, doodle was born with a condition that he had no control over and neither does his parents, so there was no way they could have caused anything to happen to him.

Doodle's parents aren't guilty because they were not with Doodle and didn't know what he was doing.

Doodles parents are not guilty because they weren't even with him when he died. Also Doodles brother witnessed Doodle die and could tell the judge that the parents were not a part of Doodles death.

The parents of Doodle and The older brother did not know what they were up to and where they were also the older brother did things that the doctor said not to do to Doodle.

Doodles parents are not guilty because they didn't know were Doodle was, they didn't know about the program that was going on to teach him new things, and they knew that his brother was with him. It is Doodles brothers fault because he left Doodle in the rain even when he knew that Doodle had fallen.
