The fact that they still allowed their kid to have access to the drug dealing app/device that has the drug dealing app on it.

Or they removed it and then the kid put it back. Yes, they might have been able to take the device away entirely but that's not really effective, and the strong parental controls are only available for kids up to 13 (at least on Android).
