You are passing a role name, administrator, to current_user_can.

Here’s one example how to construct such a custom function: /** * Check if a comment has children. * * @param int $comment_id Comment ID * @return bool Has comment children. */ function has_comment_children_wpse( $comment_id ) { return get_comments( [ ‘parent’ => $comment_id, ‘count’ => true ] ) > 0; } using the get_comments() function … Read more
