I've never taken a formal debate class, but I think what you are arguing falls under the Fallacy of Relative Privation. Can someone more skilled than me in log

  That would be a correct analysis IF I used the comparison in something totally unrelated to parenting, like my preference of JVM virtual machine memory management options. He failed as a parent when he lost a horde of 16 bazillion pictures, because an even worse scenario is he allocated 1 gig each to multiple separate JVM instances on a 1 gig image (guess what I just fixed...) You might be able to get me on some zenos paradox / continuum fallacy basis but thats going to take some serious sophistry. Or maybe get me on a false dilemma strategy where having a dead kid and a drug addicted kid are hardly mutually exclusive although anecdotally they were two distinct kids. But I don't think the relative privation strategy is going to work well.
