Shame used to be a powerful motivator.
It also led to busybodyism, which diminished personal liberty. Heinlein once said "freedom begins when you tell Mrs. Grundy to go fly a kite". In many ways, he was right.

People having opinions about the personal business of others does more harm than good. As long as the parents take proper care of this child, I would say that there is no reason for them to be ashamed of anything.

I think we've already established that they aren't doing that, by not providing him or her with both a mom and a dad in a loving home.

Next question?
