I'm just reading about the Oregon case where a child died of an illness that authorities claim could have been cured by medical treatment. The parent's religious beliefs caused them to opt for prayer instead of medical treatment in this case. Authorities have filed manslaughter charges against the parents. Defense attornies say a religious freedom defense will be used. It seems that had the child been treated and died under medical care, the doctors could have been sued and would have used malpractice insurance to cover the claim. Have we gotten to the point that parents need malpractice insurance too? I can imagine with what I read that kids who grow up with "issues" may not be far from suing parents if they believe mistakes were made. (we as a culture provide no formal training on parenting!) Anyone know if an insurer is considering malpractice insurance for parents?

No, its not possible. Insurance companies are in biz to make a profit. There is no profit in this as its not insurance but ONLY an excuse to bring legal action.
Not practicle probable, nor logical.
