Now you want to argue the concept of what is right and what is wrong? Unless you subscribe to a theory that says all ethical values are the same, you're bound to get hundreds of different answers.

My only argument is that the family has a good civil suit on their hands and ample evidence that the other adults are liable for her death.

I presume you'd agree that the law should at least exhibit strong correlations between responsibility and liability? This is what mbillie means by right here.

It should; and it does. However, I agree with the lawyers/police department here; there is no charge that fits in a criminal sense. It is borderline, as the article would indicate. It is often in these borderline cases that civil suits are won while major felony criminal charges cannot be brought to bear (though sometimes misdemeanors can be filed).
