Some of the best parents are poor.

Financial status does not a good parent make.
This is a popular sentiment, and wrong. Financially capable human beings make the best parents. The decision to bring kids into the world without adequate funding and planning is prima facie bad parenting. Parental "love" is irrelevant in the face of inability to provide a financially stable environment for the family.

Yet a few generations ago, most were much poorer by our standards, had more children and did a much better job of parenting. They didn't have "adequate funding", planning was pretty much a joke and love somehow kept the family strong, happy and united.

The children's grandmother lives in the same apartment complex and the father stated he wished she had called him to watch the children. It wasn't money that was the problem here.
