I suppose if they didn't know what was happening, the parents wouldn't be to blame if they reasonably expected that their adult son would not behave that way.

God left us in charge thinking we would do a better job and isn't aware of the true situation?

Up until about 200 years ago, 90% of the world's population was what is now defined as absolute poverty, a subsistence existence with starvation an ever-hovering danger. The other 10% couldn't have helped all the rest if it expended all of its resources trying. Your comparison only applies in recent history.

The store houses runs over, and yet our brothers starve. Is it the fault of the 'parent' who saw to filling said store houses?
It is the fault of the parent only if they foresaw what would happen and left the irresponsible adult child in charge anyway.

Rather than distribute what has been given these worthless children point to what they have deemed as a 'lack of love' because not every corner of the father's lands are filled to over flowing. Again that is why the commission was given to distribute the excess to those who have none.
The adult children are ultimately responsible, unless their parent is aware of the situation, could right it, and allows it to continue. In the latter case, the Father shares the blame.
