I agree with your overall point that what the parent comment is suggesting might be not a nice way to treat your friends.

However, if someone feels an equivalent amount of distress from having a convo with a fake person on a dating app as they would from thinking that some terrible accident happened to their kid at school, I believe they might have some larger personal problems to address first.
