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 friend’s number and the friend could tell the parent. But if they don’t 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.
