No, my attitude is that nobody (staff or otherwise) should be judged to be in the right or in the wrong until the evidence is known.
We don't know why the children were brought to this protest march - so let's not assume the parents are either saints or devils (or anywhere in between) for doing so unless and until we know why they brought them. This is separate to why they went on the tracks, but again we don't know the reasons why they did so, so let's not judge their motivations until we do.
When a SPAD happens it could be the fault of the driver, the signaller, the signalling system, the track, another driver or something else. If the fault lies with a human it could be deliberate, preventable accidental (e.g. fatigue, inattention) or unpreventable accidental (e.g. medical). My point is that you shouldn't judge the driver until you know the cause.
