It is the fault of their circumstances. The parents are a large part of that, but to outright blame the parents when there is no "proper" way to raise a child is extreme. If fault were to be found, I would say it would be primarily with the parents, then with the other relatives, then the child's peers (such as they are at that age), combined with, in cases, whatever innate (be it biological or otherwise) tendancies the child may have from birth.
