The First Amendment to the Constitution was designed to avoid a theocracy from becoming the form of government for the US.

If the parents had had any concern for their children's well being, they could have had their bar friends meet them at a motel. They picked up a Mr. Goodbar it seems and exposed their children to him and now most likely have a dead child for it.
