the parents here absolutely allowed this to happen

True, they are ultimately responsible, but I also place some responsibility on Progressivism. Thanks to feminism, which pushed mother into the workplace, a family now needs both parents working to survive whereas before only the father needed to. This leaves both the parents with no time to properly raise the kids and make sure shit like this doesn't happen. There's also the fact that Progressives in schools are actively brainwashing children into transgenderism and other forms of mental illness.
