On the whole, you are absolutly correct. Parents should be prepared to take over the work of any pets they allow brought into the house.
Having said that, my 11, and 8 year old kids have been doing a great job of looking after a hampster since Nov. They have read all the books they could get their hands on, and do all the cage cleaning, feeding, water freshening etc. So it can happen that kids can do a good job depending on the kids and the pet.
