First, I am wondering how much time you spent in the children's home to have decided it was all the parents fault. It is true that if they don't display this behavior at home the parents could turn around and blame this on you, as well.
As a society, we need to quit the blame game- it solves nothing. Work together with the parents on these concerns, and outline a plan of action- "what to do when this occurs" possibly a warning, proceeded by a time out, then, after rejoining the group, if the incident reaccurs-possibly removal form an enjoyed activity.
Remember these are young children who are testing you, and when they get a reaction, they will do it again and again- consistant, controlled responce is the solution for most children.
Keep in mind there is a very high rate of children born with special needs today, and if this could be of issue, then consistancy becomes of extreme importance. Keep a record of incidence, so when you do "talk with" and are not "blaming the parents"- you can refer to these incidence in a concerned way, instead of out of frustration.
