Ethical dilemma here - pointing fingers, blame goes around but nobody responsible - how?

Is this a case of parental neglect?

How does the mom not know how her seven kids are living.....but ready to drop everything after they died to claim she would have helped them live?

Does the power company share responsibility in the deaths of this family?

Is the father solely responsible for the deaths of himself and his children?

Is welfare to blame for the deaths because they did not give the family enough to pay their bills?

Are both parents responsible, after all, they had more children than they could afford to support. right?

Terrible that everyone wants to help AFTER THE FACT! What are your thoughts?
