It's somewhat dishonest to put much, if any blame on Dasani's parents. They were raised without the decision making skills and opportunities necessary to evaluate the long-term consequences of their decisions. This behavior will very likely be passed down to their children.
Each of those children, knowing only their own lives, may grow up to have n-more children that they can't afford. Is it suddenly their fault, or is there a bigger, vicious cycle of poverty at play here?
The blame lies with the society that refuses to help impoverished children break the vicious cycle. Most of the people who deride the need for these kinds of services have never even exchanged words with somebody that poor, let alone been in that situation themselves. They have no idea.
