One third of those died as newborns, and another third died before their first birthday. Once they hit their first birthday, the risk of a child dying before five is indeed about twice as high as in the highest income countries, and it's not "lack of supervision" that kills them - it's measles, malaria, diarrhoea and starvation. This is not evidence that western parenting is what keeps their kids alive.
