And the accepted length of childhood is once again incremented...

Edit: Parent comment is no longer phrased so as to carry this implication.

Different meanings of child. To parents someone is always their child no matter how old they are. This is a distinct notion of child as in "human below the age of maturity". Child in this sense means closer to genetic/memetic offspring that they have raised.

Fair enough, but it probably should have been phrased as "murder of one's child".

Ok, fixed.
