Can a parent sue for damages for an alleged violation of an adult child's civil rights caused "incidentally" by the federal government?

The parties note (and the trial court addressed) that there is a split of authority about whether a parent can sue for damages for an alleged violation of an adult child's civil rights caused "incidentally" by government action or whether the right to sue extends only to cases where government actors intentionally interfere with the parent-child relationship. (See Rucker v. Harford County, Md. (4th Cir. 1991) 946 F.2d 278, 282 [describing the split of federal authority].)
