Does the father's negligence in Fajr prayer by persistently oversleeping after waking up or being preoccupied with his phone until sunrise, despite his children's futile attempts to wake him, constitute a reason for the children's sin? And is it obligatory to wake the father to perform the prayer after sunrise in this case?
