If it could be liver damage, that doesn't make sense to me. Many moons ago I had a grand mal seizure, and I was put on Tegretol. I had to have regular blood work to make sure this very thing didn't happen (liver damage/failure). I'm pretty sure the same thing goes for Depakote.

Many people are against extra marital sex, for example, due to religious or moral convictions. It seems the Scientologists feel that way about medications, right or wrong to us. I understand there's a huge difference between this and my example, but in the end it's a matter of how strong one's convictions are. I still am not judging the parents as I don't understand all the circumstances, and I doubt we'll ever know. I know how devastated these parents must be, so I hope people allow them to go through the grieving process before stoning them first.
