Comment:

 Personally, I think that we should take the same approach as very well
 established places like Reddit:

 In the case of parent deletion, a placeholder comment should appear with
 the text "Deleted" or "Deleted Comment" and the rest of the child non-
 deleted posts should appear afterwards.

 No need to modify the post count, nor trash the child comments.
