I disagree with the argument that the problem is with the parents. Or, I don't agree with it entirely.
These same problems aren't nearly as common between adults. They normally occur between adults and children. (i.e. if it weren't for them being children, there would be fewer problems.)
Edit: The problem in these cases is between the adults and the children. Responsibility and blame is another thing entirely.
