Its a spectrum, the level of responsibility of the victim is proportional to age, to me
It is the parents legal (and we would all hope moral) responsibility to protect the teen. They are also the only entity which can sign the teen up for any formal treatment
But it is possible for a parent to be as vigilant as they can considering they also have the attention towards keeping the lights on and other various important things, and for a teen to still surprise them with a suicide
So then the responsibility goes back to the teen to be willing to tell someone. Even if they told their friend, a good parent would have that friends number and the friend could tell the parent. But if they dont tell anyone, not a parent, not a friend, no one, and just do it, almost nothing can protect them at that point
To me, there is a due diligence. And it is possible for a parent to have done this and still lost their kid

i dealt with the trap of suicide ideation for a few years. i heard the wonderful phrase "i will, a will just, i am going to **** myself" literally every day, multiple times a day. they have no control.
you are right about keeping the lights on. i couldnt imagine dealing with that and the stress of keeping the lights on. i was lucky i guess. the hardest part was admitting the part i played allowing her to end up where she was.
due diligence = due suffering as you discover your very own unconscious evil.
