The worst thing a parent can do to their children in my opinion is abandon them. Kids should never have to go threw with their parents abandoning them. To the parents: how would you feel if you got left somewhere, but not by accident? Children's parents mean the world to them. Kids should not have to live without one of their parents, or even both. Your fist bike ride, first steps, anything, gone. you wouldn't be able to witness anything in your child's live if you weren't there. Even divorced parents shouldn't just not talk to there children. Communication is key. just think about it.
