It’s indicative of their whole worldview. Children exist to reinforce the behavior and beliefs of the parent. Raising a qualified successor generation is secondary, if they care at all.

And why should they? Jesus is set to come back any day, once they figure out how to trigger the Rapture with some cows and a hill.

Another example of this that comes to mind for me is hearing how schools will put a totalled car on the front lawn before prom to try discourage kids from drink driving.

If you're worried about kids drinking and driving then maybe offer taxi and bus services? It gives this sense that the problems are systemic but the solutions are individual. The kids know not to drink drive but are given no alternatives if they don't have the means to arrange something ahead of time.
