Oh my! I want to point fingers but who do you point them at?
Grandpa for not telling his son about the secret live grenade? He probably intended to when the time was right and his mind had gone before that happened.
The lack of education about such serious matters? For all we know it could have been one of the kids that found it and pulled the pin. No 14 y.o. boy or 18 y.o. girl should have to know about grenade safety.
That whole situation sucks...those kids are scared for life, both physically and mentally...a very sad situation.
