Most of the time, this isn't necessarily the parents' fault when a child takes the wrong path in their lives. A parent can only have so much influence over their children growing up. They instill the foundation for them to grow with. From there the children come across social statuses, peer pressure and society's standards and everything there takes more influence on how the child becomes has they grow into young adults. What parents need only do, is to make sure they're kids' surroundings align with what they want for them, that's the best they can do.
