None of this is his fault at all, of course, but I'd be shocked if the kid doesn't end up with a lot of survivor's guilt and sense of loss.

That is the worst case scenario that the mob is calling for. Especially if the kid fell while playing, which is more likely than a malicious injury in my opinion.
It really should not be that way. It should just be help the family and help the kid as if it was a dad with any other job or profession.
If Tyreek acted out of malice, or out of failing to maintain self-control, it would be fair for there to be a sanction. I think it is more likely that he maintained self-control and that any interactions with the kid were not motivated by malice. If that is the case, the Chiefs and the NFL should realize that the right thing is to help people and not railroad them just because the crowd is riled up.
It seems like the rush to pre-judgment and call for the crucifixion of the scapegoat brouhahas happen around Easter.
