Who the fuck is giving a one year old child some mushroom they found in the woods?
Probably no one. Kid probably found it and parents didn't know or couldn't stop some of it from getting into the kid. Children at that age are on a mission to speed run life.
That doesn't really make it any better, that just means they were negligent.
Tell me you've never had a newborn without telling me you've never had a newborn. It seams the sole purpose of new born babies is to do everything they can to speed run their existence. It's like watching a potato, that normally coos and rolls around, going full Sea Biscuit the moment you have to attend to anything else.
There's a reason the saying it takes a village to raise a child exists (well, multiple reasons). Anything less than several sets of eyes and it's a matter of when, not if, they eat something they should not. Most of the time it's something benign like dirt or a crumb off the floor. The parents of the child in this article were just unlucky probably! Before having my own, I thought the same way as you and others do about the parents of children who get hurt.
Seems to me that you have never had a newborn.
When you have a baby in your home, you make damn sure your house is safe and doesn't have poison accessible to the baby.
It does not "take a village" to put poisonous material in a locked cupboard or other inaccessible area.
In my country we even avoid giving mushrooms we know are safe, nearly impossible to harvest incorrectly, to children under 4 because they may be hard on the digestive system.
The Secretary of Health and Human Services, probably.
