Yes. I know it's difficult to keep an eye on your children every minute of every day. But the fact remains, a child obviously cannot be held financially responsible for causing damage to someone else's property. So the burden falls to you. It's your child, so it's your responsibility, regardless of how attentive or inattentive a parent you are.
I mean, it's certainly not your downstairs neighbors who are responsible for the damage! You can say "it's not my fault, my kid did it" all you want, but that argument falls apart when you consider that you are expecting your neighbors to pay for the damage done by some kid they don't even know.

Generally, if the renter caused the pipe to freeze, for example by leaving a window open, then Yes. However, if it was caused by circustances beyond the tenant's control, such as with insufficient insulation in an outside wall, then it would be the landlord's problem.
