"Adults who fail to civilize their children."
Obviously, but how does the failure happen? My guess is one of two ways-- the child himself has been roughly disciplined without love, or the child has never been disciplined at all, which is also a failure to love. The bottom line here is that, one way or the other, it's a failure on the part of the parents to properly love this child. Love is wanting what is good for someone else, and it requires attention, thought and action.

"Love" isn't the magical cure all. Discipline, moral guidance, respect, learning to socialize, stable family life, all this plays a part.
A crack head can love, a whore can love, a murderer can love, a crook can love, but they aren't good role models.
To this kid, probably because his non- existant family life sucks, figured this baby was a source of all his woes. There is no doubt plenty of blame to toss at his morally bankrupt parents, and the kind of lifestyle they lead.
