Child Killed by Mistake

Question
What should be done in the case of accidentally killing a child?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Diya must be paid to his family, which is the value of one hundred camels or 5000 grams of gold, and it should be with the assistance of the 'aqilah (the group responsible for the killer), and the killer must fast for two consecutive months as an expiation for that, and God knows best.
