Icapall, parents CHOOSE to have children. They CHOOSE to love and raise them in a safe and secure environment. If they beat and sexually abuse and hurt their kids than they aren't living up to their obligation to their children, and their children have no obligation to them. My parents are lovely, I would never dream of abandoning them, however I do know people who were horribly abused by their parents and I don't blame them for having nothing to do with them.
