“NTA. Family can be for sure. They are most likely upset with the events that gathered them and this unfortunate accident could’ve made them tip over the edge. If nobody stated you were supposed to be looking after these kids while they slept in *your* room, then it’s on them to make sure the children are safe and sound. They didn’t want to deal with little tantrums or find a damn flashlight or nightlight for the kids to sleep with their parents, that’s on them. It is sorry that someone got hurt, but in absolutely no way was it your fault. That kid couldn’t go pee because big scary dark bathroom but not big scary ladder? Kinda odd but sure. Kids are weird. Everyone needs to calm down a bit, think about what was said, and prepare better for next time. I hope someone steps up for you. This is the most I can do.”
