Back in the day, kids shows WOULD kill off their characters permenantly*, and do you know what? It was sad, but we handled it, and (unless someone had already died in real life before you saw the episode) it would save most parents from the awkward explainations of death when it happens. When my Grandma died (she's the earliest death I can remember) I was obviously sad, but I understood it, because TV had explained death to me.


 * I say "permenantly" because some non-serious cartoons will "kill" their characters for an end-gag or something, but they're alright the next episode.
