I can see that but at some point I thought their was a differentiator between a mechanical failure and a brain malfunction.
Both Accidental Discharges and Negligent Discharges can happen but they mean completely different things. The two terms are not interchangeable and most shooters will never experience an accidental discharge. 99.9% of the time you hear someone referring to an accidental discharge it is actually a negligent discharge.
Accidental: happening by chance, unintentionally, or unexpectedly.
Negligent: failing to take proper care in doing something.

I could see that but if the bullet hits your kid it falls back into negligence because of muzzle control.
