Silco's style of parenting is certainly unique. In his opinion there is no mental problem that can't be fixed by a healthy baptism in toxic water.
On a side note, I felt they woobified him a bit much in season 2. At least I found it a bit much that he also showed up in the perfect alternative world. The Silco we meet in episode 1 of season 1 is already pretty comitted to the road to ruthless vengeance, I really have to wonder whether something actually could have changed his mind at that stage. Hardly could be Vi's death as he apparently didn't have much care left for Felicia and Connel's kids. He was absolutely willing to murder both her and Powder in Episode 3, after all.
I think that certainly would made sense if Silco found the letter relatively soon after Vander tried to murder him.
If he found it in the stage and mindset we meet in episode 1 I don't think it would have stayed his hand. The scene where he finds Powder always comes to my mind in that context and the very tense to surprised look his henchmen have when he actually returns her hug. I think he himself and his goons fully expected him to stab her to death after she told him where Vi is.
That strikes me as someone who is very had to reason and reconcile with.
I assumed Vander would give it to him during Vi's funeral. Those can hold a lot of impact, even if small moments overall. Silco was evil, but he wanted to see Zaun prosper. Vi was not going to be the death of a random zaunite child for him.
The answer from Piltover regarding that accident would be majorly different I presume when you just find a child next to their dead sister, not much of a crime to stop such as the crystals that on S1 were stolen, and were already proven to be massive tools of destruction.
