Parents are so oblivious to their own children, that sometimes they don't even realize that what their kid(s) are getting themselves into can mean a life long addiction: to drugs, not getting attention so they do bad.
Tell me if you think this is wrong or not, I certainly think so...

Your statement is kind of black and white.
Speaking from my own experience of working with drug offenders, many children who turn into adults hide there addictions well and even if the parents realize they have a problem, addiction has such a strong hold that children, teens, young adults are oblivious to there pleas for them to stop. Drug addiction will make you lie, cheat, steal, hurt your family and most can do nothing to stop it. Addiction is a terrible thing but parents are not always to blame for it. Addiction can be something you are born with. Most parents do not know what there kids do. I know plenty of people who did hard drugs and just knew how to keep it from there family. That is how a addict works. It is not always attention that is the problem. Some of these children, young adults also have a dual problem with mental illness. Some self medicate to keep there depression or other mental illness in check. Some just get into it as recreation and then it gets out of hand. Some fall victim to pressures from friends. Its not that easy to just say parents are oblivious

I think sometimes parents can be oblivious, beginning when their kids are babies.Adults have a tendency to treat babies and toddlers like they're incapable of learning anything unless we purposefully teach them.We bring harmful things into our homes in all kinds of ways, even living wrong behavior in front of them, expecting them to be oblivious. No one's perfect, but shouldn't we take responsibility for our little sponges?Surely if we try we could each remember some things that affected us that the big people never seemed to notice?The sooner we all face the Truth, the sooner the healing can begin.Yeah, it might hurt, but isn't it worth it?Don't we want to be ok?Don't we at least want our kids to be well?Are we not willing to do whatever it takes for those we love?

Kids go down the wrong road because of a number of reasons. Sometimes parents stay on their kids and they still do bad things. Every situation is special.

You have kids to love and cherish and nourish, not ignore.
Anyone who ignores their kids shouldn't be parents, kids can get into all kinds of trouble if they don't feel loved or cared for.
