I don't remember seeing players die via heart issues, players getting into drunk driving accidents, players beating their wives, players caught gambling - all of this stuff happens to - but it doesn't appear to be in the game. Why? Because they add nothing to the game.
0 people will play this game and say "This game isn't realistic because nobody's kid died" - Fact.
If 1 person (customer) says "I haven't seen this and I hope I don't." then it shouldn't be in the game.
All it does it make the OOTP franchise look bad for including it.
You want kids dying in the game? Cool - then you be the one to edit the storylines.
Me, I want the game to include what it needs to include to make it an entertaining distraction from real life. Having a players child die doesn't do that - it just makes me question the game developers thought process.

I have to admit, this fellow is sticking to his guns (no pun intended) and making a darned good case.
