That comment has made me really angry. It is likely that the parents did agree - because the experts were telling them that everything was ok. People on this site frequently slate patients who insist upon being taken to hospital against the recommendation of paramedics / EMTs - and now you're slating the ones who don't insist. Hopefully, nobody is to blame for this heart-breaking incident and it is, as someone else has eloquently described, just because "shit happens". Hopefully, the paramedic did everything that was expected and couldn't possibly have forseen the outcome. Blaming the parents for concurring with an expert opinion is remarkably cruel - I'm sure they're blaming themselves enough already. With opinions such as yours, I think you should consider changing your nickname.
