Prepares for them to take care of their children's child due to their inability to care and protect their own child? This paper/article doesn't talk about the biology/evolution influence of how so many people don't care for their own off spring. I have had children who's grandmother took a knife to her (Her mom was off in the world of drugs), while I had my future son (He had terminal cancer) the father beat the biological mother to death with a baseball bat, and I have had a biological uncle one block from my house and he never once came to even see his nephew (The father (his brother) was less then 200 miles away and never saw his son past year 4).
I get the argument but there is plenty of reasons of equal importance in asking why so many parents are giving way to grandparents in child rearing.
We have a Foster System due to the inability of Grandparents to take care of the children. If they could the system would be 10% of what it currently is today.
