I think some don't take parenting as seriously as they need to. Whether they like it or not, they helped bring the child into the world, so the parent should be held responsible for their actions. We make people pass tests to drive a car, yet anyone can have a child. Some people where I live just have children because then they get more money every month from social assistance (welfare.) Unfortunately there isn't enough policing when it comes to parenting so situations where a child gets locked in a closet, don't happen as often as they do. It makes me sad to think of what those abused (it may not be physical, but it sure is emmotional) children will grow up like. They didn't have a choice, they were born.
