No, I think it is standard (lazy) parenting. I think most parents are bad and wish there were a way to not allow them to have children. I grew up with a dining who was a trouble maker and felt I took unfair blame at times.
That said, we don't live in an ideal world for parenting or flooring. I would like to see things done more the way you say as well, but it's not always possible. It would take longer to assign blame, which is bad for winning players as well as the house, and sometimes blame would be assigned incorrectly, leading to the wrong player being punished.
I'm not sure things would be much better in the long run if most floors changed the way they handle such situations, and it's never going to happen anyway because fairness is not their priority (just like parents). You're better off not stressing out about this and focusing on things you can control.
