I am thinking you made a fundamental attribution error in your comment. I hate to say it, but despite all the positive role-modelling a parent can do, there is a point in childhood (different for every child) at which autonomy kicks in.
Parents and society can only do so much, and at some point a child is going to make their own choices. Blaming the parents is as knee-jerk a reaction in some cases as blaming video games.
Great parents, teachers, etc., can often make a difference, but assuming bad parenting when seeing bad kids denies the role of the child in their own poor decision making.
