I doubt the adult knew the actual extent to which the child was unstable - I doubt anyone did, quite honestly, or different actions would have been taken.
Also, being cruel is not the same as causing someone's suicide - this is beside the fact that many breakups end with one person intentionally inflicting hurt on another. I think the analogy rings far more true than you give it credit.
Child vs. Adult is one thing, but that's also part of my point - we're overreacting because of the adult's involvement, when we should be focusing on the painful and preventable loss of a child who likely did not receive the treatment, support or attention she needed.
