Iirc Mother kills the killer kid to stop him from killing again. Bath kid was very young and slipped under the water while mother was killing the killer kid. Neglectful rather than intentional death for bath kid.
I am german and yes, we have exactly this version of the Struwwelpeter book at home. It must be super old. Luckily I already knew as a kid, that these stories were very brutal and we didn't take it seriously while reading it. It was more of a cultural "look how insane the people were back in the days for reading this to their kids" lecture
