It's a loss of hope. Also the the parents are so traumatized that finally they don't want to see that their kids need a pinch to be revived. Thier own guilt as to not being able to protect them in thier countries is not on them. The only way the parents can feel okay is to allow their children is to sleep. That i understand. There could be an organic thing. But I think not.
