(theoretical case, snipped)

The murdering kid isn't legally responsible. Perhaps they are for
bringing him or her to a public place when they couldn't exercise
adequate control over him/her. So perhaps the parents are
responsible?

Or is the franchisee responsible? Or the parent corporation?

There must be an answer somewhere. Can any "legal eagle" provide it?

Your apparent problem is that you think every accident has
to garner a payment to the person suffering damages from
someone else. What happened to, "Well, sometimes ****
happens..."? Go home, tend to your wounds, hope it doesn't
happen again. Believe it or not, a lawyer, a lawsuit, and
damages are NOT the cure for every problem.
