It's symptomatic of the whole "somebody else is responsible" culture. As you say, the parents are content not to care; but when their negligence finally has serious consequences, they want somebody else to be accountable. Very lame.

This kind of thing is exactly why schools in my country are actually gonna start teaching values again - trying to instill a basic sense of right and wrong.
