How was the mother "deficient in duty of care"? And how does the fact that the man was questioned but not charged by the police suggest that the whole issue was a "beat up" by the mother? Oh - I see now ... she has a FameBeg page. Must have made the whole story up then, eh? Funny how no passengers or crew has outed her for being an lame idiot and fantasist.
I am not quite so shy ...
The OP article said the child deteriorated over a period of time observed by the parents and sister's family.
The article ONLY quoted the mother AND relied on her version of events.
She who must be obei'd perhaps?
Deficient - sat and watched her daughter deteriorate and did not administer EPI pen.
IMHO with 3 children I actively raised, I NEVER sat by and called for others to look after them while I watched. Most other parents I know are the same - they respond and take action. When my 5 month old son, sitting on my lap, had his eyeballs roll back in his head and pass out - I reacted, I didn't call on others to fulfill my parental responsibility. I held him while he had the lumbar puncture so it would minimise the risk of permanent paralysis.
The mother was critical and pointed the finger at someone else being at fault. The research article mentioned in this thread also makes it seem likely that the cause was not from the air but either eaten or touched. The old line "
The lady doth protest too much, methinks!" sums it up for me.
Pinched from my previous post:
The air crew provided towels and ice.
The air crew called for help (not the parents)
once the girl stopped breathing.
(I would not be sitting quietly by).
Two people responded a nurse and ambo.
One of these administered the epi-pen.
The mother appears to have still been on holiday and expected everyone else to be responsible for her poor daughter's health.
What if the girl had been on the beach in Tenerife and stood on a dropped peanut? Or took a bite from someone's ice cream? The family should know how to use the epi-pens.

f the girl is really this sensitive then there must have been previous incidents. Perhaps she is not as sensitive as made out and she was given something by her sister, mother etc. The story does not ring true IMHO
especially knowing parents with extremely sensitive primary school children - everyone in their families knows how to use the pens and where they are located in the home, car glove box, school bag etc.
