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?

You do not sin if you wake your father for prayer and he does not respond, but you are not obligated to wake him after sunrise, though it is better if you do so.
