I know a dude my age who is a flat-Earther. His mom is a school principal. His dad teases him about his beliefs. But none of this seems to matter. The young man thinks there is compelling evidence to suggest the Earth is flat. Ultimately, are his parents failures?
For anyone who does seek truth in this world, that's often the first Trap people fall into. Flat earth. Whether it's round or flat doesn't matter you can't do anything with that information.
Anyway that kid, being capable of thinking outside the box will eventually move onto other, more useful and important subjects. Developing the ability to truly think critically.
Which is miles ahead of those incapable of thinking, miles ahead of those who would mock and ridicule one who questions the world.
His parents are likely better than the ones who raise sheepish followers who don't know how to think.

I wouldn't blame the parents fully as there is a lot of stuff they cannot control. Opinions, ideas and knowledge being some of them. A parents main goal is to provide the basics and the secondary goal is to prepare them for life. The second goal becomes much harder with outside influences such as peers and the internet. Unless the parents play a direct role in shaping that mind set its not fair to blame them for how their child is choosing to live
I agree with @msc545
Also, I was going to click on B but that baby cracked me up. So, I voted for one 😂

Unless the child can show some multi-dimensional space where it could be true, then yes. Of course, if he or she could actually develop a plausible theory, then I would still consider them failures for not pushing that level of genius into a productive endeavor.
the parents are to blame. Not enough discipline. They probably had the kid in day care the whole time.
Parents are probably radical liberals that let their kids make their own decisions, rather than give them the preferred parental guidance. They failed... miserably.
It is both his and the parents’ responsibility, but the Flat Earth Society has members all around the Globe!
His intellectual impairment could have been cause by many things. Bad parenting is far down that list if even present at all.
Their kids should be taken away from them for child abuse!
The Earth is actually flat! If you take away all the round parts, which would equal 0! Ah shit.
I was a flat earther for a while. Its a fun troll. A few of us had our geography teacher in tears
Yes and castrated so they can't do it again
