Whilst not applicable in this case (because the deceased is a minor), this always reminds me of how important it is to also make arrangements for your digital heritage.
Facebook allows you to set a legacy contact [1], who will have some basic rights, or you can request to then have your account deleted. This has to be initiated by someone/anyone after you pass away.
Google allows you to predetermine some basic actions [2], and share data from your account with other persons. This is triggered by not using the account for a set period of time (between 3 months and 1.5 years), so it activates automatically, but likely some time after you pass away.
