The estate wants to sue those responsible as recourse. The estate has sued the child and the parents.

Precedent establishes that those under 4 years can chainsaw your leg off and get off scott free.

The kid in question is over the age of four.

What would you prefer they (the estate) do?

Sue the parents if you want to sue somebody. If the plaintiff wins the case, what do they get that they wouldnt have gotten by only suing the parents?

They are suing the parents as well.

I know. Why sue the child?

Because the child is directly responsible.
The parents are being sued because they are partially responsible.

The act itself, vs. improper supervision of a minor. As I said previously, they are likely required to name the child in the suit as the primary actor.
