Liability still requires negligence or strict liability. Strict liability would be impossible to prove since the girl was already suffering from clinical depression and tons of stressors could have contributed to the death. Negligence would require the "reasonable person" test. If a reasonable person could forsee that the obvious emotional distress the adults inflicted would lead to Megan's death, then they are liable.
